This Alabama Crimson Tide team comes into the Iron Bowl with its College Football Playoff hopes intact, the Southeastern Conference Championship still in play and a 9-2 record. This Auburn Tigers team comes into the Iron Bowl with an interim coach and a 5-6 record, needing a win to be bowl eligible. Should be one-sided, right?
