Alabama has wrapped up the SEC West and earned a spot in the SEC Championship Game, but the all-important College Football Playoff bid still hangs in the balance. Auburn will visit Tuscaloosa on Saturday, Nov. 26 with a chance to play spoiler to the Tide's currently perfect record in the regular season finale, which will air live nationally as the SEC on CBS Game of the Week.
Over the next two weeks -- the Iron Bowl and SEC Championship Game -- CBS will be on hand for the final pieces of a truly unique season for Nick Saban and Alabama. Dominant defensive play set the tone early in the season, but recently the highlights have come from Jalen Hurts on this path to (possibly) becoming the first true freshman quarterback to win the SEC in the league's 83-year history.
Alabama has won four of the last five meetings in the Iron Bowl (the loss being Auburn's "Kick Six" in 2013) and leads the series 44-35-1. Gus Malzahn and the Tigers were rolling in October, but a narrow win against Vanderbilt and Saturday's loss to Georgia eliminated them from a potential division title run.
