It's even funnier when Auburn people act like there is a vast difference between the quality of incoming student at Auburn (26.9) and Alabama (26.1) based on an average ACT score that is less than 1 point apart between the schools.
What you are not seeing in Alabama's numbers are the special admittance students (Probation). Due to the quest for 35k+ enrollment, the University has had to offer many instate students this option. I have heard of students with as low as 18 on the ACT getting in under these conditions.

Do you have a link for this claim?

I'm not doubting some special cases because frankly I have no idea one way or the other but I still don't see what the big deal is if the average ACT score is still a very respectable 26.1 which is very close to Auburn's 26.9. A Georgia fan mentioned knowing of a friend's daughter who got into Auburn with a 19. Not knocling Auburn at all because it has a very solid reputation but don't pretend that Auburn is above also taking marginal students as well.
