Auburn beating Bama has meant more to Bama in terms of title implications than Auburn. A couple of Iron Bowl losses have derailed Bama's title aspirations...thinking 2013 and 1989. Probably a couple of others.

That's been addressed in more detail earlier in the thread. It's not true. The only year an AU win prevented Bama from a possible title was 2013.

Also mentioned was that the only 2 years both teams were undefeated were 1971 and 1994 (AU had a tie and a ~20 game unbeaten streak - AU's longest.). They were both Alabama wins: 31-7 and 21-14.
