With an SEC West Championship and state bragging rights on the line, things got a little more interesting for this year’s Iron Bowl when the College Football Playoff Committee ranked Auburn in the No. 6 spot last Tuesday. Even before Auburn’s dismantling of No.1 Georgia, the hype had already begun. Some in the media had started dubbing the game as another possible “Mother of All Iron Bowls.”
I don’t know about that but it’s for certain the nation’s eyes will be on Jordan-Hare Stadium Saturday as CBS has made it The Game of the Week and ESPN announced yesterday that its ‘College Game Day’ program will be broadcast from The Plains.
