As for auburn, I don't buy all this "playing on house money" bullshite. While many of you are tempering expectations as much as possible, you are top 5 with a solid chance to make the BCS if you can just win this game. The implications are HUGE for you as well.
I don't think any AU fan will disagree with this statement. It sucks to lose to Bama in any given year. But the bottom line is there is a ton more pressure on Bama to win than AU. AU loses and guess what? They were supposed to. NO ONE expected AU to be in the position we are in. So if we go in and beat Bama...it is the cherry on top to a great season for us.

The pressure is greater for Alabama to be sure, but given that most of these players have been playing with that pressure for the better part of two years, I'd be more concerned with auburn players dealing with THEIR pressure. It's less pressure, but they haven't been in this situation.
If this game comes down to the last 5 minutes, I'll be shitting my pants. The one thing that concerns me about THIS year's Alabama team is we haven't been in one of those games where you lose if you don't score...and auburn has more than once.

You just described every game Alabama has played in for the last three years.
