Let's look at the past 3 decades of football:
Auburn 16 wins, Alabama 14 wins.
Auburn's victories breakdown like this:
4 series wins over 10-win (or more) Bama teams (25%)
2 series wins over 9-win Bama teams (12.5%)
3 series wins over 8-win Bama teams (18.8%)
12 wins over Bama teams with winning records (75%)
4 wins over Bama teams with losing records (25%)
Alabama's victories breakdown like this:
0 series wins over 10-win (or more) Auburn teams
2 series wins over 9-win Auburn teams (16.6%)
3 series wins over 8-win Auburn teams (25%)
7 series wins over Auburn teams with winning records (50%)
6 wins over Auburn teams with losing records (42.9%)
Auburn is 4-9 against the best Alabama teams of the Era.
Alabama is 0-6 against the best Auburn teams of the Era.
56% of Auburn's wins came against bama teams with 8 or more wins.
36% of Alabama's wins came against auburn teams with 8 or more wins.
If there is anyone that takes advantage of the other team being down, it's Alabama. Don't worry, Auburn WILL be back.

Comments from Alabama fans
All these I found in about 10 minutes on Auburn forums. All from Alabama fans, who are never worried about Auburn, btw.
"I try and i try and i try to educate you Aub fans but you still re-
fuse my generous offer. I told you Aubs that a 5-19 coach couldnt
and wouldnt be successful at Auburn..LMAO LMAO LMAO!! I mean
how ignorant do you have to be??? You people insisted,with some
lame excuse that Iowa St simply didnt have the talent to win.But
i tried to tell you that Iowa St never progressed as a team and
more importantly Iowa St still lost to INFERIOR competition..Thats
a sign of terrible coaching..Moreover look at Iowa St now they have
already won 4 games of the 7 that they have played which is one
more game won by Chizik in 2 years!!! LMAO LMAO LMAO Just path-
etic..LMAO LMAO!! See the difference..See why im so much smarter
than any of you Aubs?? Ive played the game 16 years and know
the game inside and out.But it doesnt matter whether its football or
not though,Auburn fans just have low IQs...Coaching is coaching no
matter if you coach at Iowa,Penn St,Northwestern,or Delaware,it
doesnt matter!! You have to ask yourself did that team ever pro-
gress???? Did your team even though,outmanned,did it compete
hard and execute to the best of its ability??? Chiziks teams never
progressed and they also lost to teams that were inferior to them!"
(Apparently, this guy has forgotten that his 4 million dollar coach went 6-6 his first year. Who has the low IQ?)
"Have you noticed that Iowa State is doing better without the Cheezit."
"Auburn's problem is its players and its coaches."
"Good News- Bad News Time. The good news is that Furman is only 2 weeks away. The bad news is that you still have to play Ole Miss, UGA and BAMA. That is right..contrary to what you knuckle heads think, the Tide will show up to play on Nov 27th."
"Which glory days are you referring? I do not see any National Championships in the past so not quite sure to what you are referring. If you are talking about maybe some 8 win seasons then maybe."
"awbarn could have won this game, but it was missing just one thing.
a scary logo. "
"Better enjoy this year. Next year only have three sure wins on schedule instead of six. . 2011 looks good six possibly seven wins."
A RATIONAL bama fan
"Jimjbama is right. You guys are going through what we did when Saban first arrived. It takes time to rebuild and having two of the best teams in the country is good for Alabama. So, good luck and hang in there."
"Looks like Auburn got Cheezed on."
"aaahhhh.....BEAUTIFUL! The order of the SEC has finally been cemented for this year."
"urite and not of which would be excuses for losing 3 in a row after pounding your chest and talking about how Tulsa T Malzahn will take the SEC by storm or how cheesepops is the 2nd coming of any football god."
""did any of you hear mike dubberly on fox 6 wrapup show out of bham last night? he was live from baton rouge and said that the players were laughing and joking coming out of the locker room to board the bus. i guess they have accepted that they are losers being coached by losers."
We shall see...WAR EAGLE!

Auburn 5-3 with a bright future.
Another lonngggg night in Auburn football history. Needless to say, I was a little upset about how Auburn played. Are they terrible? Right now, they are. In order to understand how Auburn is doing so bad, there are a couple of factors:
First, let's look at the roster:
15 Redshirt Freshmen
22 Freshmen
27 Sophomores
29 Juniors
10 Seniors
74 of these players are on scholarship and several have been kicked off the team before the season started.
12 of these freshmen are playing.
Add a brand new coaching staff to this mix and you just knew it wasn't going to be a great year. However, with that said, it's not as bad as it could be. The tigers are likely to finish 6-6 the way they are playing but that is just as good as Pete Carol's, Bob Stoop's and Nick Saban's first year at their schools.
Why is the future bright? Because alot of young players are getting their feet wet early in SEC play and that is invaluable. The biggest recruits that I was excited about are currently redshirted. A buildup for the future. That's pretty smart.
Let's turn our attention to the current recruiting class. Wow!!! It's the first time in 10 years Auburn has had this high of a recruiting class this early. Currently #12 on Rivals.com. The #2 RB in the nation is expected to commit in the couple of days. Let's look at the big commits so far:
Joel Bonomolo...4 star defensive end from California
Ed Christian....4 star Offensive lineman...#29 OL in the country.
Antonio Goodwin....4 star Wide receiver....#40 Wide receiver in the country.
Shon Coleman....4 star Offensive lineman....#10 OL in the country.
LaDarius Owens...4 star Linebacker....#6 linebacker in the country. #3 player in Alabama.
Jeremy Richardson...4 star Wide receiver....#26 Wide receiver in the country. #6 in Alabama.
Craig Sanders....4 star defensive end.....#12 in country....#7 in Alabama.
Cody Parkey....#1 kicker in the country.
My two favorite redshirt freshmen...
Deangelo Benton....5 star receiver
Tyrik Rollison....#2 Dual Threat QB in the country...deemed the most accurate QB recruit of last year.
So is there a reason to be afraid? NO. The future is looking brighter all the time. All we can do is watch the young guys develop and watch the top recruiting classes roll on in. WAR EAGLE!!!
