In this story:


The Alabama Crimson Tide football team faced a do-or-die game in Jordan-Hare Stadium on Saturday night. Win, and it secured a spot in the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta on Dec. 6, and and possibly the College Football Playoff. Lose, and Alabama got none of those things and could be heading to Orlando for a bowl game while the national championship was decided.

Of course, the Crimson Tide rolled into the "haunted house" and walked away with its sixth straight Iron Bowl win, 27-20. But, like usual Alabama at Auburn brought it's usual drama and intensity, which is why many feel that the Iron Bowl is best and biggest rivalry in college football.
