With Rivalry Week comes key matchups that will have a massive ripple-effect on how the postseason shakes out. Other rivalries have simply been going on for so long that the bitterness is ingrained in players from the day they step on campus. Some of these games have trophies, while others rely on clean, old-fashioned hate to fuel the fire between the teams.
Below we've highlighted some of the best games for you to keep an eye on Saturday.
The Iron Bowl — Alabama vs. Auburn

Rivalry since: 1893
All time record: Alabama leads, 45-35–1
Last year: Alabama 30, Auburn 12
Trophy: Foy-ODK Sportsmanship Trophy, named after
At stake this year: As much as there possibly could be for a non-playoff, non-championship game. It's already the most enthralling rivalry in college football, and this year the winner gets not only bragging rights but a trip to the SEC title game as the representative of the SEC West. For Auburn, a win would also mean that their hopes of making the college football playoff are still very much alive.
