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.

A lot of the seniors were on the 2010 team, so the team leaders have been there.

Here is the bottom line IMO.
For bama, a loss means the season is a total failure. It would be the biggest loss of Saban's career, a failure for the historic three-peat implications, and mentally crushing for a lot of bama fans who still think they will win by several TDs. And for all of it to come crashing down so late in the season with no hope of salvaging anything in the SECCG and for it to happen in AU in the biggest IB since Dec 2, 1989 - wow.
For AU, it would be a mixed bag. Some AU fans really do feel as if it is house money and do not expect to win and will get over a loss pretty quickly. For others (like me) it will be a fricking terrible loss that will infuriate because some (like me) think we have a great shot to win and think we should win any and every time we are playing bama at JH with a good team. But, after a couple of days a loss to bama in this game will fade pretty quickly because we weren't supposed to be in this position so quickly and next year is the year we should win the SEC anyway when everyone returns.
So that is my take. An AU loss will suck but be quickly put behind us. A bama loss will be pretty fricking awful for the team and fans for an extended period of time. Just the way it is this year.

For what this is worth.....after Alabama lost to Auburn in 2010 with Can, Saban put posters all over the locker room,
" Never Again"....I think this year, the beat down continues, but after AJ Leaves we gotta start a new QB, so starting next season we' ll have to see...b
