Last week, Auburn lost to New Mexico State at home. Alabama entered the game ranked No. 8 and in the thick of the College Football Playoff race. However, with the Iron Bowl taking place at Jordan-Hare, true fans of both programs knew anything was possible.
What many thought was impossible nearly happened: Auburn almost won the football game.
With only 43 seconds remaining in the game, the Tigers has a 99.9% statistical chance to win the Iron Bowl, according to ESPN’s advanced analytics.
Then, Jalen Milroe connected with Isaiah Bond for a 31-yard touchdown on fourth down.
The Tigers gave the Tide a 0.1% chance to win the ball game, and Alabama ran with it.

An electric game ended in the Tide’s favor, but Alabama is far from content. The goal remains: get into the College Football Playoff.
