Here’s what you need to watch for as Alabama and Auburn square off in the 2024 edition of the Iron Bowl, one of college football’s greatest rivalries, with our updated prediction for the game. Alabama appears to have played itself out of College Football Playoff consideration after a shocking 24-3 loss at unranked Oklahoma last week that raises questions about the state of the program under first-year head coach Kalen DeBoer.

As a result of Alabama’s win over Auburn on Saturday, the Crimson Tide have now won five-straight Iron Bowl’s dating back to 2020. This also marks the seven-straight Iron Bowl that Alabama has won in Tuscaloosa, with Auburn’s last win inside Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium coming back in 2010.
