Iron Bowl
The Iron Bowl is considered by many to be one of the biggest college football rivalries. The game is played annually on Thanksgiving weekend between Auburn and Alabama. The game was first played from 1893 to 1906 but was suspended for 42 years. The game resumed in 1949 and the rivalry has blossomed into one of the biggest games of the year. The winners of the past 3 Iron Bowls have gone on to play in and win the BCS national championship. Alabama leads the series 42-34-1.
