re: ESPN: Alabama-LSU tops the national rivalry list

The game doesn't have many title implications this year. Iron bowl is pretty much all that matters. If Alabama loses they still need to lose to Auburn, and If LSU wins they need Auburn to beat Bama and lose to someone else, and they need a scenario to work out where they win a 3 or 4 team tie breaker. Since divisional record is the first tiebreaker, they might have a shot after all.
