re: Most times met as AP ranked opponents

I realize the Iron Bowl wasn't played from 1908 to 1947. LSU and Bama didn't play from 1931 to 1943 and also didn't play in 1949, 1950, 1956 and again from 1959 to 1965.

But no denying Auburn has the better record as both rivalries have the same number of contests (82) but Auburn has 11 more wins over Bama than LSU does.

Auburn won 7 times before the series ended in the early 1900's. The series restarted in 1948, so Auburn missed playing Alabama for almost 40+ years and missed some very good Alabama football decades. LSU,on the other hand,started playing Alabama after Alabama had become a national name......
