Still reeling from last week’s devasting 24-3 loss to unranked Oklahoma, No. 13 Alabama’s College Football Playoff hopes are on life-support.

And, with only the Iron Bowl remaining on the schedule, rival Auburn is eager to pull the plug.

The Crimson Tide (8-3, 4-3 SEC) enter the 89th Iron Bowl desperate to make its case for inclusion into the 12-team College Football Playoff field after finding itself out of the mix following Saturday’s SEC setback in Norman.

Meanwhile, the visiting Tigers (5-6, 2-5 SEC) are looking to spoil those dreams while securing bowl eligibilty for the second straight season under Hugh Freeze.

Alabama and Auburn renew their contentious rivalry at 3:30 pm ET Saturday, inside Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa.

In his place is first-year Crimson Tide head coach Kalen DeBoer, who is seeking to become the first Alabama coach not named Saban to beat Auburn in Tuscaloosa. Since the Iron Bowl moved from Birmingham to a true home-and-home series in 2000, only Saban has beaten the Tigers inside Bryant-Denny Stadium, finishing 12-5 in the Iron Bowl.

Freeze, meanwhile, is still looking for his first win in the series after last season’s epic inside Jordan-Hare Stadium ended with the “Gravedigger,” Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe’s miraculous fouth-and-31 touchdown pass to Isaiah Bond to secure a 27-24 win for the Tide.

That play came a decade after Auburn delivered its own storybook ending with the “Kick-Six” 109-yard missed field goal return for a touchdown from Chris Davis in 2013.

Still, Alabama has controled the Iron Bowl of late, winning four straight in the series under Saban, and maintains a firm 50-37-1 advantage all-time.
