that Auburn and Bama will be having their first ever 1 vs 2 matchup in any sport this Saturday, and moreso that Auburn is the #1 team in that dynamic.
What's more amazing is that, in the history of the AP poll, which spans from 1949 to present, so 76+ years, the AP #1 and #2 teams have met just 44 times.
Of those 44 meetings, none of the teams were from the same state.
This is rare air for the state of Alabama and BOTH programs.
Yes I know I'm deliberately glossing over Vandy.
