I’ll be glued to screen this weekend as the regular season comes to a close with some classic rivalry games.

Bama needs a win in the Iron Bowl to keep their playoff hopes alive. A win also gets them to the SEC championship in which they will very likely also need to win to be in the CFP.
It’s a hard road, but they put themselves on it.

playoffs will be interesting..

Congrats to Texas! Huge win over Texas A&M last night!
I’m both surprised and not by the outcome.

Coach Sarkisian comments post game, on the field:

I think he was looking at you, Indiana.

Roll Tide! That was not a gimme game... Auburn was figuring it out in the second half, but had a lot of unlucky moments.

So... the Tide and the Dogs... AGAIN!!! The never ending battle. It seems like we've kinda gotten worse as the season has progressed, with Georgia getting better. I'm must not sure we can do it again... our luck is bound to run out at some point. Kirby is fed up with losing to Bama. This will be like a sudden death playoff game for Bama.

Spot on with those comments imho.
Not the first time the Tide has lucked their way to an Iron Bowl win.

As an Alabama fan, I’d like to know who paid the committee to let them into the playoffs? Or did the committee just not watch the Bulldogs effectively neuter the Bama offense?

I thought Texas would have been in it instead..
