Bama didn't wanna see Auburn in 1913 or 1914...they would've got smashed very bad. The 1914 Auburn team is the only team in NCAA who didn't give up a single pt on defense.

Only team ever, or only team that year?

According to Stassen.com, in the 40 years they didn't play, Alabama won 266 games, which amounts to 77% of the games they played, and was ranked #2 behind only Notre Dame for the time frame.

Auburn won 199 games, which was about 58%, ranking #74 in the nation, behind such notables as Brown, Louisiana Monroe, and San Jose State.
