Well we truly are there National Title game every year, so I can see why the majority would say that.
It's all they really have. Some of them might say their goals are the NC game, but let's be honest, it took a freak QB one year and two "miracles" the other time to get them to the game a couple times in the last decade. Outside of that, they had 1957 when they weren't even called Auburn University.

So, winning the IB is really all they have to measure success and they have to convince themselves it's better than our annual trek to the NC game.

I will just leave it at that. That’s like saying to the Patriots would you rather lose against the Steelers in the regular season, but win the Super Bowl. How dumb does that sound? But we are talking about the barn here.

Tough decision for me because I HATE AU so much, but I found there was actually something awesome and hilarious about them beating us and being left out, only to lose to UCF. Not what I prefer, but if an AU loss meant a NC every year, I’ll take it!

Of course the national championship means more, that's the whole point of playing football, to win championships. There is nothing greater a CFB team can accomplish than a national championship. A win over Auburn doesn't even compare. To say that it does is to make Auburn incredibly important, way more important than they should ever be considered.

Why pose this question as either/or, as if it’s some kind of mandated trade-off? The NC obviously is worth much more, but I hope this is not an effort to devalue the importance of winning the iron bowl. They are two different things and completely unrelated. We can and should, as Bama fans, expect BOTH. I’m ecstatic that we won the NC, but I still have to put up with my snotty Auburn side of the family and bragging rights for the next 12 months. I want both...😁
