I got curious. Auburn owned Georgia for decades, I think won about 65% of the game over 2 decades. Then lost 8 of 10. And Georgia isn't the only team we've done that with, I knew we'd done it with the other SEC west teams. So I decided to count it up just out of curiosity.

So this is Auburn vs our 6 consistent SEC opponents: Bama, Arkansas, UGA, LSU, MSST and Ole Miss.

1996-2007 with 2.5 years Bowden and 9 years Tubbs
Auburn 44-28 against these teams. Won 61% of the time.

2008-2015. 1 year Tubbs, 4 Chizik, 3 Gus (figuring Bama loss)
Auburn 19-29. Won only 40% of the time.

2008-2015 (excluding 2010 and 2013)
Auburn 8-28. Won a mere 22% of the time.

Against Each Team Over 10 Years (including 2010/2013)
Alabama: Lost 6 of 10, prior 10 years won 6 of 10
Arkansas: Lost 6 of 10, prior 10 years won 6 of 10
Georgia: Lost 8 of 10, prior 10 years won 6 of 10
LSU: Lost 7 of 10, prior 10 years split 50/50 with LSU
MSST: Won 6 of 10, prior 10 years won 6 of 10,
Ole Miss: Won 7 of 10, prior 10 years won 8 of 10.

Clearly, from what you see, Auburn has sucked lately, but Auburn still owns Ole Miss. And that matters.

But other than that, no real commentary. Just curious and wanted to see the math, and share it.

BTW, I could totally live with a 22% win record vs SEC opponents IF I could be guaranteed every 3rd year is national championship pure bliss.
