Division titles aren’t exactly on par with national championships, but don’t tell that to the Auburn Tigers.
According to Auburn football’s Twitter account on Monday, Gus Malzahn’s squad showed off one of its new rings — celebrating the Tigers’ 2017 SEC West crown.

The post prompted a response from standout Alabama linebacker Terrell Lewis, who’s coming off a national title with the Crimson Tide. Lewis turned to Twitter himself, sharing a link to the photo of the freshly minted bling proudly displayed by the Tide’s arch rival in a tweet whose caption simply read, “This is sad.”

All that being said, the Tigers did best ‘Bama in the annual Yellowhammer State family feud known as the Iron Bowl, though the Tide ultimately punched its ticket to the College Football Playoff and brought another national championship home to the Capstone.
