The Iron Bowl series between the Alabama Crimson Tide and Auburn Tigers is one of the greatest (if not the greatest) college football rivalry in the nation.

Despite Alabama's recent dynasty and decade of dominance under head coach Nick Saban, the rivalry's tenacity has continued to persist, as proven by Auburn's ability to pull out multiple wins over the Tide during this stretch.

However, that's not to say Alabama hasn't had its fair share of moments steamrolling the Tigers throughout the more than 100 years of meetings these two SEC programs share. Keeping that in mind, here's a look at Alabama's five most-lopsided wins over the Tigers in Iron Bowl history.
