I think they build it up as their main rivalry to spite Auburn. I'd probably do the same thing if I were a Bammer, so I can't say much

For a lot of the older fans it is the more important of the two. Bryant anointed it as the more important of the two when he started the tradition of handing out cigars after beating Tennessee. But even when Tennessee was on its 7-game win streak against us in the late-90s/early-00s, I personally hated Auburn more.

Yep. This all started when Auburn was winning the IB every year. I'd hear Bama fans say they didn't care about beating Auburn. It was all about UT.
