Auburn would be agreeable to just about anything to not have to face Alabama/Saban every year.

I would disagree.

Outside of 2008, 2011 and 2012, the Iron Bowl has been close every year since Nick Saban arrived at Alabama. Two of those seasons just so happened to be some of the worst in Auburn history, so just about every team beat up on them. The Iron Bowl has been generally competitive even given Nick Saban being at Alabama and Auburn going through 3, possibly 4, coaching changes.

2007: 17-10, Auburn
2008: 36-0, Alabama
2009: 26-21, Alabama
2010: 28-27, Auburn
2011: 42-14, Alabama
2012: 49-0, Alabama
2013: 34-28, Auburn
2014: 55-44, Alabama
2015: 29-13, Alabama

Also, Nick Saban's career record against Auburn is 8-5 (2-3 at LSU, 6-3 at Alabama), IIRC.

That's not some kind of domination like many like to suggest.
