Yes. Hence better rivalry.

I agree with this take. I’m guaranteed a good game with bama uga. But these rivalry games anything can happen tbh.

I’m providing an example as to why there is more hatred in the iron bowl vs the game, not bragging about murder

The only people dying from the Iron Bowl are socioeconomic factors. So basically the iron bowl has lower IQ fans. I guess that makes it better. But the game is two bluebloods.

Didn’t Michigan lose like 20 years in a row?

8. Didn’t Auburn lose like 9 years in a row?

You’re right. 9 actually happened. 20 never happened. OP said 20 because he doesn’t know ball.

Since 2000, the game has been just as one sided as the iron bowl if not more

Except the game gets more viewers almost every year. Sorry man but the facts just don’t agree with you.

The thing is auburn is almost always unranked while mich is almost always ranked.

Auburn is top 15 all time in wins🤣. And even with Auburn’s worst 5 year, they’ve been ranked only 4 less times than Michigan in our respective rivalry matchups since 2000

To me the Auburn and Alabama players are polite and cordial with each other compared to what I see with OSU and UMich

Since 2000 Auburn had “good” seasons in 02, 04, 05, 06, 10, 13, 17, and 19

Auburns receivers are hot trash.

the Game wasn’t super nationally relevant this year tho, tbf. buckeyes and hoosiers were expected to play for the b10 title, that would’ve only changed if some combo of state, indiana, and ore got upset. aggies losing like they did was also a lot more likely than any of those upsets to set up bama’s title shot. no one was missing cuz of the Game this year, unlike how bama could rn, and them being in or out is super relevant

i don’t rlly count michigan as really having lost anything significant besides pride, their chance to get a chance at the playoffs this week was more of a neat mathematical possibility than something that was realistic

1

what… that’s what i’m saying 😭 the iron bowl is what i’m saying is more significant

1

It’s auburn playing spoiler that’s the extent the game matters and even a bama win has them maybe making the playoffs. If Michigan won today they were maybe going to play into a playoff game and Ohio state would’ve been locked out of Indy for 6 straight years and not beaten their rival for 6

If the extent of a rivalry is just the big brother school just avoiding the rat position of their clearly inferior rivals I’m not super interested in it as a narrative the game to game may be interesting but it’s not very convincing

Mind you in the last 5 Ohio state Michigan match ups it’s essentially been a playoff game in the 4 team format

Because Alabama is playing down to competition. This auburn team is bad

-1

It’s a big game but if you have this same exact roster play calling and season and put this auburn team in Arkansas uniforms instead of auburn this game would’ve already be over. It’s purely a mental breakdown because it’s rat poison and a streaky bama team

-1

Anonymous #12 4w

not trying to agree or disagree with anything, but i’m really curious how much playoff significance the Game will retain over time if they keep the expanded format. like, it’ll probably still directly impact the b10 game and a likely first-round bye, but winning the b10 isn’t quiiiite as important or crazy huge with the triple sized field

Anonymous #7 4w

I mean that’s equally true of Texas am and Texas or the iron bowl. There’s more to play for put the rivalries that mean more will still mean more

1

Wha about this is wrong lmao

4

i think getting selected would still be a fat chance with a win, not without some other higher ranked teams exploding. they didn’t control their destiny with the title game either, and washington pulling off the upset was also really unlikely. even then, they were only a guaranteed if they managed another upset to win the title game

1

Anonymous #12 4w

i mean sure, any matchup will matter a little less now by default since there’s more teams allowed in. but the b10 and sec aren’t made equal either, this year for example there’s been more sec teams with 2 or less losses than b10 teams. matchups between teams with near perfect records in a top-heavy conference in a big field matter less cuz they’ll probably both make it in anyway, title or not. versus the 2829102 10-2 and 11-1 sec teams that only have so much space to be let in if w/o a title

that’s Alabama for you buddy

If 9 wins is a “good” season Michigan has had good seasons in 00, 02, 03, 04, 06, 07, 11, 15, 16, 18, 19, 21, 22, and 23. Ohio State it would be way easier to list the seasons they didn’t have 9 wins. I think there have only been 3.

Recency bias is literally the only way you could consider the iron bowl more significant than the game. And it’s a very specific recency bias - like starting exactly 14 years ago.

2

The most wins of all time by a lot. Also biggest stadium. And OSU wins… something every decade or so.

Anonymous #9 4w

My comments on recency bias plays into peoples’ comments disregarding Auburn, and acting like we’re historically unranked and on the same level as Mississippi state, which is simply not true as we are a top 20 program in wins. My comments on recency bias is not an argument for which rivalry is more significant

1

Anonymous #2 4w

Yeah it was.

1

Would you have said Michigan can’t ever win purely based on this stretch of games? Your basing your entire “Auburn can’t win” argument on the 5 worst years in program history for Auburn, when the iron bowl has been very well matched in the games even in those 5 terrible years

1

Anonymous #9 4w

No it wasn’t

1

Auburn may be allergic to the rankings (the last five years) but we’re still posing a threat, as seen tonight. But even with Michigan being ranked in those matchups, it didn’t matter because 5 out of those 8 games were double digit losses, and 4 of those 5 were blowouts
