The massive stakes for the national college football scene that we’ve come to expect with the Iron Bowl are mostly gone this year. After losing to Oklahoma last week, No. 13 Alabama (8-3, 4-3 SEC) will miss the College Football Playoff unless chaos unfolds around the sport this weekend. Auburn (5-6, 2-5) has disappointed throughout the season and is just playing for bowl eligibility at this point.
The game might be lacking on a national scale, but that doesn’t diminish the importance for both coaches.
First-year coach Kalen DeBoer has already overseen the worst Alabama team since 2010 and really can’t afford an Iron Bowl loss to a six-loss Auburn team when it comes to fan buy-in and recruiting momentum. Second-year Auburn coach Hugh Freeze was largely hired for his ability to beat Nick Saban — a feat he accomplished twice while at Ole Miss. While he can’t do that again, he’d earn a lot of goodwill with a road Iron Bowl victory ahead of what is shaping into a critical third season for him on the Plains.
It will be hard to beat last year’s thrilling fourth-and-31 touchdown finish, but this game has a way of delivering even when the nation’s gaze is elsewhere.
