The rivalry has been played sparingly since then, but the stakes have never been higher as both programs have combine to win four national title over the past decade.

The game will kick off at noon ET at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia, on Saturday. Here is a look back at the recent games between these two rivals and how the overall series has played out to this point.
