Bill Wilson / The Anniston StarTUSCALOOSA — A winner-take-all Iron Bowl will begin in the afternoon.
No. 2 Alabama and No. 10 Auburn will kick off at 2:30 p.m. on Nov. 25 from Jordan-Hare Stadium and air on CBS, the Southeastern Conference announced Monday.
The winner clinches the Western Division title and punches its ticket to the SEC Championship Game against Georgia on Dec. 2 in Atlanta.
It’s the first Iron Bowl to determine the SEC Western Division title since 2013, a game Auburn won 34-28 on Chris Davis’ 100-yard return of a missed Alabama field goal as time expired.
