It’s Iron Bowl week, and the fine FiveThirtyEight.com has put the headline, “This Could Be The Biggest Alabama-Auburn Matchup Ever” on a story about this year’s game.
Ho, hum.
Whenever both teams are good heading into their regular-season finale, we hear all the stories about how this one is absolutely, with-out-question the definitive best game ever in the Iron Bowl rivalry. Never fails.
SECcountry.com topped that this week with a commentary piece that surmised that Alabama-Auburn finally has passed Michigan-Ohio State as the rivalry by which all others must be measured.
