Auburn vs Clemson over the decades

I like Auburn as a university alright but for some reason they talk a lot of trash about Clemson, more than most SEC fans outside of SC.

Auburn is (34-13-2) against Clemson.

Average score: Auburn 19.8 - Clemson 9.8

Per decade

1980's 0 0 0 0 0
1970's 2 0 0 39.5 6.5
1960's 5 0 0 31.2 11.8
1950's 4 2 0 16.0 16.7
1940's 3 3 1 21.0 15.6
1930's 0 0 0 0 0
1920's 5 3 1 17.4 4.6
1910's 9 0 0 18.7 0.7
1900's 2 3 0 4.2 5.6
1890's 1 0 0 34.0 0.0

So 9 out of their 34 wins were in 1910's when Clemson was around 1000 students. Another 7 were in 1960s and 1970s when Clemson was around 5000 students, about half the size of College of Charleston today, and the point spread in these games is typical of a big university playing a small university today.

These 3 decades account for nearly half their wins against Clemson, 16 total. If we disregard these decades, Auburn is 18-13-2 against Clemson.

They did not play against Clemson in 1980's which was Clemson best decade which included 1 national title in 1981. 1990s was not as good but some decent seasons in there and the teams only played once with Auburn winning.

This decade Clemson has been 2-1 and the Cam Newton team only beat Clemson by 3 in overtime. Clemson actually lead 17-0 in game until a sack messed up our QB's brain basically for rest of season. I believe Clemson was the most competitive team against AUburn that year and Cam Newton was nearly unstoppable in college.

So the last 3 decades Auburn is only 3-2 against Clemson with two overtime wins, and their other win was by 4 in a bowl game.

BOth schools have one national title. I believe Clemson has a lot more conference titles, Auburn has more bowl trips and wins.
