Interesting - 'Bama vs. Auburn

Similar to last year, both teams are coming off a loss, with Alabama (6-5) on another November swoon. Auburn (7-4) is ranked, albeit barely at No. 25 in the latest Associated Press poll.

Interestingly, the two teams have had very similar results this year. Both lost to Georgia, LSU, Mississippi State and a Florida school (Auburn to South Florida and Alabama to Florida State), including one overtime defeat.

Alabama was outscored in those games 105-83, while Auburn was outscored 120-81, primarily due to the 45-20 loss to Georgia, which it stewed over last week during a bye.

Both squeaked by Arkansas, defeated Vanderbilt soundly and defeated Ole Miss. Alabama’s biggest win was against Tennessee, and Auburn upset Florida.

But the rumor mill has been swirling around Tigers coach Tommy Tuberville, who recently has been saying similar things to what he said before he left Ole Miss for the Plains, and this is the first time around for Nick Saban, who will try to end Auburn’s string of five consecutive wins.
