2. The Iron Bowl
Once again the Iron Bowl sets up to be a huge game. Auburn has worn some of the luster off this game after losing their last two games and plummeting out of the top 5 down into the teens with three losses, but it’s still a huge game.
Put simply, Alabama can clinch the SEC West win a win.
Auburn won’t want that to happen – not against them. The game is in Tuscaloosa but MSU and Ole Miss both need Auburn to pull through for them. So much on the line in this game – a loss by Bama would not only end their dreams of Atlanta but probably the playoffs as well.
