re: Iron Bowl History - how often do "upsets" happen?

Didn't AU have a chance to win the division with a win in 2001? That was a strange year because both teams played the following week due to 9/11.

We were almost a lock to win the division. We were 5-1 in the SEC going into that game.

The loss to bama dropped us to 5-2, then the next week we lost to LSU to drop us to 5-3. At 5-3 we finished as co-champs with LSU. We also had a loss to Syracuse, so LSU went to Atl and we went on to lose the Peach Bowl in Atl.
