SEC football: Renaming some of the best rivalries in the conference

SEC football is all about tradition, winning, and of course, rivalries. Some of the most intense college football rivalries in the nation are either within the SEC or contain at least one SEC football team.

But let’s face it, some of the nicknames these rivalry games get are just tired, silly, or are in need of an upgrade.

We’ll start with the biggest and baddest SEC football rivalry, and that’s Alabama vs Auburn – The Iron Bowl. A perfect name for this game. It draws an indestructible mental image and is almost an onomatopoeia of the game itself.
