Finale poco amichevole al termine dell’upset rifilato da Alabama ad Auburn. Coach Bruce Pearl ha avuto due o tre cose da dire al preparatore atletico dei Crimson Tide. Questa la spiegazione data in conferenza stampa dall’allenatore: “Just as I was walking to my locker room, I just had to — a gentleman just was in my path, and I had to negotiate — try and negotiate around him. I think he may have clipped me, and then he said something to me. Of course, I should be able to walk off the floor without having somebody stand in front of me and try to make contact with me. So that was all it was.”
