Officials from Georgia Tech and Auburn have had discussions about renewing their longtime series. It would be the first meeting between the longtime rivals since 2005.

The conversations are in their early stages, Tech senior associate athletic director Ryan Bamford said. There is interest in a home-and-home series, but the two sides face a challenge in finding a suitable arrangement. For the sake of balance, neither team wants to play a road game in a possible series and a road game at Georgia in the same year, but the schools’ series with Georgia are on the same cycles. Both Tech and Auburn play in Athens in even-numbered years and at their home stadiums in odd years.

Ooh ooh, I have an idea! How bout make Auburn play in Athens again in 2015 like how we had to play in auburn in 12 and 13?

That way you can schedule your home and home, our wrong gets righted, and aubs won't complain every other year about playing uga/bama on the road. Win for everybody!

I'm good with this as long as Reggie Ball has no eligibility left.

How about playing a non ACC team? Some different big 12 or pac12 matchups are more appealing to me.
