Done deal Alabama decommit star as he Flip to Auburn tigers football over Tennessee, gators and hurricanes more..
The Alabama Crimson Tide find themselves on the outside looking in of the College Football Playoff picture after last week’s 24–3 upset loss to Oklahoma. At No. 13 in this week’s CFP rankings, the Crimson Tide likely need a statement win over rival Auburn in today’s Iron Bowl, and likely need some help on top of it as well.
Auburn has been disappointing this season at 5–6, with a 2–5 record in SEC play. The Tigers may be peaking at the right time, however, as they upset Texas A&M last week 43–41. During Saturday’s edition of College GameDay, ESPN’s Lee Corso said that he believes that Auburn is the hotter team and could pull off a second consecutive upset on Saturday afternoon
.
Corso would ultimately join Saban in picking the Crimson Tide to win the game, but it was not a unanimous selection by the College GameDay panel. Kirk Herbstreit believes the Tigers will pull a major upset and officially knock the Crimson Tide from Playoff consideration.
“I may still have a bad taste in my mouth from calling that Oklahoma-Alabama game last week,” he said, per AL.com. “Auburn dominated the line of scrimmage last year in this game. Coach [Saban], I love you. I think War Eagle goes into Tuscaloosa and upsets Alabama.
