3. The Battle for the Golden Egg

If the Bulldogs and Rebels can take care of business this weekend, it would be guaranteed the winner of the Egg Bowl would be sitting in the clubhouse watching the Iron Bowl and pulling for Auburn – because if War Eagle reigned supreme in Tuscaloosa they would be headed to Atlanta.
