This Iron Bowl matchup means a ton for No. 5 Alabama Crimson Tide who are trying to make a push for the College Football Playoffs. A loss to LSU has made it impossible for the Tide to reach the SEC Championship Game, so this is their last chance to impress the committee.

Alabama is without QB Tua Tagovailo, but the backup, sophomore Mac Jones, has done a good enough job and the Tide can also roll on the ground.

As for the No. 16 Auburn Tigers, they're just 2-3 against ranked teams on the season as quarterback Bo Nix has struggled to move the ball against elite teams. They have played an extremely tough schedule this season and took a 21-14 loss to Georgia on Nov 16, and one must wonder how much gas is left in the tank at this point.

10* play on Alabama Crimson Tide.
