8. Iron Bowl of Basketball: Alabama-Auburn
Football may overshadow basketball at these two SEC schools, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have an intense rivalry on the hardwood.

It’s an even better matchup when Bama wins the Iron Bowl since Auburn school’s president presents the Foy-ODK Sportsmanship Award at the game making it a must see for any college sports fan.
