Does anyone outside of Alabama care about the Iron Bowl?

Give a simple "yes" or "no" answer. Mine is most definitely, "no."
I respect the rivalry and all but aside from the typical bragging rights, I don't really care. It doesn't ever really seem to end in an upset.

Doubt it, unless they are pulling against the highest ranked team. CFB interest is highly regional.

Um, yeah. I look forward to watching it every year.

It's probably my second favorite game on rival weekend.

Nope

I like all of the other rivalry games (except the made up ones like Arkansas v. LSU), but for some reason, the Iron Bowl just seems a bit over-rated. No offense to anyone that likes it and by this thread, I really am just curious.

Most overrated rivalry.

It's one of the best rivalry games in the south, so if it's an interesting matchup I try my best to watch it. Didn't see the last 2 because I knew Auburn would get murdered.
That 24-0 comeback definitely qualifies. Pretty sure Bama was favored in that one despite Auburn being undefeated.

No...it's no more than a football game to anyone other than UA and AU fans. Same with the Egg Bowl. Same with the old LSU - Ole Miss rivalry...it was just a game to anyone but Ole Miss and LSU fans.
Did anyone outside of UT and aTm fans care about that game other than it being just another football game to watch? No.

It depends on the relevance of the game each season. Last year I didn't give a shite because we all knew Auburn would get destroyed. If they are both top 15 teams going into the game I'll watch just because college football is an awesome sport.

Ohio State vs Michigan gets my vote.

Yes a lot of people do.

In 2010, the whole world cared.

It's good and usually entertaining, but its not something I schedule around.

So which college football rivalries are a must see for all fans?
I would venture to say none.
