Alabama & Auburn fans, how do you rate the rivalry right now?

Towards the highest, lowest, in the middle, where is it compared to history? Did the Iron Bowl spark it to higher levels again? I wish you both would fall down a flight of stairs but I have always been intrigued by the rivalry. And yes, LSU has no rival so we must talk about yours, let's get that out the way up front.

If Gus wins again I will give it an 8. Until 5

I believe it's right at a healthy un-healthiness.

The game this year was competitive.

I don't see any need to change any rules.

It's only a great rivalry when Alabama wins the IB.

Bama fans killing each other, poisoning trees, hiring Lane Kiffin after a loss to Big Game Bob..

Seems about where it should be.

It feels electric right now because one of the closest and most exciting games in recent history was this year's Iron Bowl.

But frankly, over the last 4 years, it hasn't been that great. Auburn's other win in 2010 wasn't an enjoyable game, each team crushed each other in respective halves. And the other two games were Bama blowouts.

If this year's game becomes the norm, it will be fantastic, but right now we're riding on one great Iron Bowl. I remember not that long ago when every Iron Bowl was so tense that every play would make you nervous.

I will always have respect for my rival Bama fans. There is a high probability one of them will be making my pizza and Delivering it as well.

Bama's coach is scrambling to try to change the rules to be able to beat us

Everything seems right

We're very disappointed with little bro for losing the SEC NC Streak. Especially after we gifted them the SECW this year. Other than that it's fairly normal for this rivalry.

Bama has/will win 2 of 3 for years to come. So on a 100 scale I rate it about a 33. That low because the 2 wins are usually uninteresting beatdowns.

Better now than it was last decade. During the streak we just penciled Bama in as a win after a while. Knew it would be close due to the way tubs played but knew Bama wasn't ever going to win any of them either.

Now gumps lose their mind when we win which is entertaining ofcourse.

Peak of the rivalry in recent times was 1989-about 1997 imo. 80's was good to from '82-85 before Bama fell off and AU ran off 4 in a row.

It ebbs and flows.

"how do you rate the rivalry right now?"

You don't understand.

Auburn / Georgia is a rivalry game.

Not too long ago uat fans were wondering if they'd ever win another IB, and AU fans were wondering if we'd have to start paying to see the game on PPV, because networks were getting tired of airing the yearly beatdown. I think both teams have excellent coaching now that is gonna be fun to watch in the next few years.
