Not much changed this week in college football. It was a bye week for most of the SEC. Ok, not a bye week, but with the caliber of the opponents, it looked like it. With this weekend’s rivalry games poised to settle many debates, here are your Week 14 power rankings. Alabama had a ton […]

In his regular Monday press conference, Alabama head coach Nick Saban spoke about the different feeling surrounding the Iron Bowl game against Auburn. “When you play in big games like this, that have a lot of meaning to a lot of people, you don’t compare it to anything,” Saban said. “You just know that there’s […]

ESPN is pulling out all the stops for the 2014 edition of the Iron Bowl. College GameDay will broadcast throughout the day from Tuscaloosa, the second time it has done that in the past three weeks. ESPN’s flagship station will then for the first time since 2007 air the Alabama-Auburn matchup, which kicks of Saturday […]

Anything related to the College Football Playoff is interesting, especially things that are quantifiable. FiveThirtyEight editor and statistical oracle Nate Silver gives Alabama the highest chance to not only make the playoff, but to win the national championship. As it currently stands — of course this is before the Iron Bowl and SEC Championship — […]

For the second time in three weeks, ESPN’s traveling college football pregame show College Gameday will be live from the Walk of Champions in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The show most recently visited Alabama for the Mississippi State game, and is on its way back for this year’s Iron Bowl. Gameday was present at last year’s Iron […]

TUSCALOOSA, Ala.–Alabama beat Western Carolina 48-14 but it wasn’t pleasant. In games like this when one team pays the other over $400,000 to play, the end result is usually a foregone conclusion. But the Catamounts came to play and became the first team all year to score a touchdown on the opening drive against Alabama. […]

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — With homecoming this weekend and the Iron Bowl next Saturday, Alabama’s seniors — a group that has experienced both championships and heartbreak on the football field — only have two home games left in their college careers. This team is No. 1, like many Alabama teams have been in the past, but […]

In the video below, Harrison, the sixth-ranked senior safety in America according to 247Sports, returns a punt 70-yards to win a state playoff game for his team.

Each week during the college football season, USA Today’s “For the Win” (FTW) blog poses a poll question to college football fans. Last week, they wanted to know what the fans think is the best tradition in college football. The overwhelming response was that Auburn’s tradition of rolling Toomer’s Corner takes the cake. Here’s what […]

Before Alabama plays Auburn in the 2014 Iron Bowl, it has to play the Western Carolina Catamounts. While Alabama head coach Nick Saban said, “This is a good little team we’re playing,” on his SEC coaches teleconference, the Catamounts are clearly not very good compared to the No. 1 Crimson Tide. But they are drastically […]

While Alabama climbs to the top of the college football playoff rankings, Auburn is left scratching their heads and searching for a non-ESPN channel to watch on Tuesday nights. In the wake of what can only be categorized as embarrassing losses to Texas A&M and Georgia, Auburn is dealing with a case of whiplash after […]

After Alabama toppled then-No. 1 Mississippi State over the weekend, multiple scenarios were possible for this week’s College Football Playoff rankings. What we knew for sure was that the Tide — who had been sitting at No. 5 for the last couple of weeks — would move into one of the top four slots. But as […]

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama’s 25-20 win against Miss. State on Saturday was fueled by a dominant defense. That defense was fueled by the magnitude of the game, and some new music selections blaring from Bryant-Denny Stadium’s loud speakers. The sellout crowd in Tuscaloosa was on its feet for the majority of the game and hung […]

There was some shifting in the college football landscape this weekend, with one key team losing and many just barely surviving. Alabama beat No. 1 Miss. State, which didn’t surprise too many people as the Crimson Tide was the clear favorite. Florida State continued to win, TCU almost lost to Kansas, and Auburn has lost […]

On Saturday, one Alabama fan had a view of Bryant-Denny Stadium that most people only dream of. Before the Alabama-Mississippi State game, a group of Para-Commandos from the U.S. Special Operations Command jumped out of an airplane and parachuted onto the field. The best part? They got it all on video. One of the Para-Commandos attached […]

Displaced by Hurricane Katrina, former Alabama running back Eddie Lacy made a promise to his family. His family survived the storm, but lost everything and had to move into a single-wide trailer outside of Baton Rouge. When Lacy was drafted in the second round by the Green Bay Packers, he promised to build them a […]

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — On a cold Saturday afternoon in Bryant-Denny Stadium, the No. 1 ranked Mississippi State Bulldogs fell to the lesser-ranked but superiorly-talented Alabama Crimson Tide. In its 25-20 victory, Alabama started strong with a dominant first half on both sides of the ball, but it was the Tide’s defense that stood out as […]

After a disappointing 2012 season, Auburn had a problem selling its season tickets last year, but surprisingly, during the SEC championship run of 2013 it had an even tougher time finding buyers for its final two SEC games. A report from the Wall Street Journal this week detailed the Auburn athletic department’s trouble filling seats after the […]

The No. 1 team in the nation is playing in Tuscaloosa, Alabama on Saturday, and for once it isn’t the Crimson Tide. The team that is so accustomed to success and respect has to prove itself this weekend when Mississippi State, its Heisman hopeful quarterback and its undefeated record come to town. The past glory […]

(Video Above: Nick Saban’s must-watch message to fans ahead of the Miss. State game) At this point in 2008, Nick Saban’s Crimson Tide were undefeated, ranked #1 in the country, coming off a stunning overtime victory in Baton Rouge, and getting ready to square off against the Mississippi State Bulldogs. Sound at least somewhat familiar? […]

With Auburn losing, a hole was left vacant in the College Football Playoff top four. The top two shifted, with Miss. State and Oregon at first and second, respectively. The Ducks jumped Florida State for the second slot, with the Seminoles coming in third. TCU came in at No. 4, leaving Alabama static in fifth. Auburn fell out […]

Yesterday an Auburn fan named Charles from Reeltown, Alabama, called into the Paul Finebaum Show to defend the Tigers after losing to Texas A & M. Things didn’t go well for Charles. “How’d that Auburn going undefeated and winning the National Championship prediction come out?” Finebaum said, apparently referencing a previous call from Charles. The […]
