re: Why is Auburn considered "Lil Bro"?

Both programs are historically top 15. AU is around 13th. Bama is somewhere in the top 5.

AU had cut the overall series deficit to 5 games by the end of the 2007 season. Since then, Bama is 4-2 against AU and has extended the lead to 7 games.

Bama has more than 100 more all-time wins than AU.
Bama has appeared in 23 more bowl games than AU.
Bama has 11 more bowl victories than AU.
Bama has 23 SEC titles. AU has 8.
Bama has 35 10+ win seasons. AU has 13.
Bama has won 10+ games for 6 consecutive seasons. AU hasn't won 10+ in back-to-back seasons since 1988 & 1989.

AU is a very good program. They get called "lil bro" b/c they are in the same state with a program that is historically better using any football metric.
