Texas A & M would defeat Alabama 29-24 with three turnovers by Alabama, including the first two interceptions of the season by McCarron.

Answer: Auburn

Of course Auburn is the great rival and a difficult opponent, including a comeback against Alabama (leading 24-0 at halftime) in 2010, the year Auburn won the national championship.

Answer: Notre Dame

Although the Fighting Irish had led the series 5-1, including a victory in their previous game in 1987, the rivalry stems more from the national attention each team receives as great football tradition. Additionally, the great Bear Bryant (Alabama coach 1957-83) went 0-4 against Notre Dame, including two shots at national championships, by losing the 1973 Sugar Bowl (23-24) and the 1975 Orange Bowl (11-13).
