From 2007 to 2012, Alabama has outscored Auburn 190-80, and Tennessee 204-65.
2000-2006, Tennessee outscored Alabama 156-143, and Auburn outscored Alabama 132-101.
This is a total of Alabama outscoring Tennessee 347-221, and Alabama outscoring Auburn 291-212. Interestingly, in those games, the record for Alabama since 2000 against Auburn is 5-8, and 8-5 for Alabama against Tennessee.
Alabama and Tennessee are streaky. Tennessee has won more in a row against Alabama than Auburn has, and and Alabama has won more in a row against Tennessee than they have against Auburn. And they've played more games against Tennessee.
I mean, if you are throwing Tennessee under the bus, I don't really know what that says about Auburn. What does Auburn offer?

Like 2008, 2011, and 2012? You haven't scored an offensive TD since 2010.
Immoral victory or moral loss? I'm not sure what this should be called, but we need to name it.

AU has won 45% of their games with Bama, UT 44%.

Bama is usually competitive, even in their down years.
No doubt.
Also even our most inept coaches have at least one 10 win season.

a slightly better program than tenesse right now?... look, we've gotta get our kicks in when we can... UT is the only other big 6 program that's might be in worse shape than we are...

I absolutely love LSU/Auburn/etc. posters who are incapable of viewing 'Bama's current streak over UT within the context of the whole series.

I know. There are lots of things to tease Alabama fans about. An Auburn fan questioning the Tennessee rivalry is hitting the bottom of the barrel. I expect it from LSU, not from Auburn.

I like the concept of an immoral victory.

The last 2 years have not been trending that way.
I know... but we're in a new era now with the same offense that gave us success against Alabama in 2009 and 2010. The 2011 offensive coordinator was Gus, but Chizik handicapped him
I think it'll trend upward from here on.

Can we stop repeating this. It was the amalgamation of not SEC level players trotted out at quarterback. It wasn't Malzahn's system or Chizik's meddling. Chizik had to meddle because between Kyle Frasier (has to earn correct spelling) and gimp shoulder, it was tough sledding.

I good question is which streak will end first?... UT's consecutive losses to UF or B
That's a good question. There are lots of streaks in the SEC that are going to end at some point. Which is first?
State vs ______?
Ole Miss vs _______?
Arkansas vs _______?
Vanderbilt vs _______?
Kentucky vs ________?
Tennessee vs ________?
There are some pretty impressive losing streaks in the SEC.

I don't usually agree with Bama fans, but I like this.
Suck it Auburn, you were one of the few teams in the SEC worse than UT this year, what are you bitching about? TSIO is historically recognized as one of the top 3 rivalries in NCAA football. There have been great games, and there have been blowout games, just like every rivalry series. It's going to keep happening, and no amount of bitching on a internet message board is going to change that.

Ohio State/Michigan, USC/Notre Dame, Oklahoma/texas, are all clearly bigger rivalries than Alabama/UT.
You have an argument after that, but you will NEVER be top 3.

Tennessee won 10 of 11 from 1994-2006. So.....yeah, I think we'll keep playing. The streak ends this year!!!

Fine. Top 5, whatever, does it really make that much of a difference?
