Has won 9 of the past 11 matchups with Alabama when both teams are ranked in the Top 25. These are just numbers. Nothing to necessarily hold on to, unless you are a Tiger fan.

How do they play when the wind is blowing south-southwest at a speed of greater than 11 MPH but less than 14 MPH?

I'm not big on the whole "Alabama only beats bad AU teams" moral victory, but that's an interesting number.

I believe they have lost 1 of the past 1 of these.

Need to confirm that, though.

Auburn also leads the series since Bryant died, 17-16. Truth is, Bama hasn't really been in control of this series since that 9 game stretch from 73-81. Auburn's been in complete control twice (86-89, 02-07), but other than that it's been a tossup. Saban's only failure as Bama's coach has been his inability to dominate this series.

According to the World Wide Leader, Bama has won 4 of the last 7 national titles and a loss Saturday does nothing to derail Bama's chances of 5 out of 8.

I think it's just more proof that AU isn't in the Top 25 all that often, considering. I mean, considering Alabama has won 6 of the past 8, and holds a 44-35-1 series advantage...

And considering Alabama has finished ranked 54 times in the AP poll, to Auburn's 38 times, and it's not hard to do the math.

When Auburn's good, they're usually really good.

They're just not "good" nearly as often.

It's well known that Bama usually only beats the bad Auburn teams.

Those were good Auburn teams. Bama only beats the bad ones.
