quote:The W-L column yes. But, the context of the game always has a rivalry build over the 2 week run up to the game. It is a big game that is circled on each calendar EVERY year.
Its been too one sided
6 of the last 10 games have been top 5 matchups (throwing out the NCG - it is still 5 of the last 10 regular season games were top 5 matchups with a pair of top 10 games in the mix). All of those were of course in November or later when rankings are much more accurate.
There are 0 unranked matchups;7 x 1 possession games since 2007; 8 x single digit wins; 3 x OTs; and only 3 x games that were > a 2 possession game.
The 8 game streak and disparity in # of titles and title game appearances likely make it feel more one sided than it actually is.
Since the "Les is More" signs and burning Saban effigies in 2008, it has been the marquee matchup in the SEC much more often than not.

I’m glad to hear an Alabama fan acknowledge this, because it is 100% true

This is actually a pretty good assessment.
It shows how incredibly important a W in that game is to both LSU and Bama's playoff and title aspirations.
It also shows that the winner of that game is probably the best in the country with a few exceptions.

I’m more afraid of Auburn than I am LSU

In that [2011] game alone, which LSU won 9-6 in overtime, there were 28 defensive players who played in the game -- 14 on each side -- who would get drafted. That includes 10 first-rounders. The grand total of future draftees who played in the game was 42, and that doesn’t even count another handful of players who made NFL rosters as undrafted free agents.
