Following the Crimson Tide's loss to Oklahoma, Alabama now faces a massive Iron Bowl showdown with Auburn where the stakes are now even larger.

AUBURN, Ala.- The Iron Bowl has gotten more important for both the Auburn Tigers and the Alabama Crimson Tide. Auburn is fighting for a bowl berth, and Alabama will be fighting for a spot in the College Football Playoffs.

The ASHOF Class of 2026 also includes Jeff Brantley, John Copeland, Kim Evans, Evan Mathis, Ray Odums and Les Stuedeman.

Three Crimson Tide turnovers resulted in 17 Oklahoma points, including a Ty Simpson’s first-quarter pick 6, negated more than 400 yards of total offense from Kalen DeBoer’s team. Now, all eyes turn to Alabama’s chances for a bid to the SEC Championship Game as well as its standing with the College Football Playoff committee.
