Auburn Vs. Alabama: This Year’s Iron Bowl Stakes Not Part Of ‘The Process’

SB Nation’s Auburn community, Track ‘Em Tigers, gets into the spirit of Rivalry Week with some crowing about Nick Saban’s precious Process and what it would mean for Auburn to upset it:

Auburn is two games away from playing for the national championship. Savior that for a second. Hell, I’ll argue with you that we could lose the Iron Bowl, win the SEC and still play for all the marbles, but I’ll save that for later. We need the perfect backdrop here for the absolute freaking epitome of IRONY to be staring Alabama fans right in their face. They’re scared right now , and they would be scared even if they hadn’t already dropped two games and were still staring down the likes of Cam Newton coming at them, full steam. They’re scared that they’re about to be replaced. The Tide knows they’re about to get rolled. They’re about to live through the bedtime story that Tiger fans will be telling their children for ages.
Don’t you understand? THIS doesn’t happen in college football. It’s never happened before, at least in modern times. The flagship program of a state, in this case, the flagship program in all of CFB history, wins yet another national championship and their arch-rival in the state comes right back at them the next season and does the same thing in their face. Forget for a second the potential national crown this year, but how does Auburn even bounce back from a Tide championship season and win a SEC crown out of nowhere? Heisman? I see your Heisman and raise you two from previous hands.
