Alabama has absolutely dominated their in-state rival Auburn, racking up a six-game win streak that makes their upcoming November 28 clash in Tuscaloosa an absolute must-watch. Auburn’s last Iron Bowl victory? That was way back in 2019, two head coaches ago for the Tigers, making this year’s regular season finale at Bryant-Denny Stadium a true uphill battle. But hey, in college football, nothing is ever guaranteed in a rivalry as epic as this one.
The Road to Bryant-Denny: A Look at the Schedules
The Tide has been on a tear leading into this rivalry game. Their early season form is just plain scary. They kicked off 2026 by demolishing East Carolina 48-10, then put Kentucky away 45-17. Florida State got lit up 50-36, and South Carolina couldn’t stop them either, falling 49-18. Looking ahead, Alabama still faces a brutal stretch with games against Mississippi State, Georgia, Tennessee, Texas A&M, LSU, Vanderbilt, and Chattanooga before the big one. This team is built for the grind, and they’ve shown it.
Auburn’s path has been a bit more of a mixed bag. They started their season with a nail-biter, just squeaking past Baylor 17-16. They had a solid win against Southern Miss, 43-8, but then Florida handed them a tough loss, 44-39. They regrouped to beat Vanderbilt 21-15. The Tigers still have a tough road ahead too, with matchups against Tennessee, Georgia, LSU, Ole Miss, Arkansas, Mississippi State, and Samford before they head into Tuscaloosa. Can they find that consistency to challenge Alabama?
