@bmarcello: Auburn will travel to Alabama, Georgia every other season under new SEC schedule format LINK

quote:

"I think it balances out," Jacobs said. "The way that it used to be, one at home and one away, was better for Auburn just to split those games up but we all had to make concessions in order to get what we wanted, so it's far more important to have the Georgia rivalry than lose that rivalry."

"That was the No. 1 thing on my mind: protecting that rivalry," Jacobs said. "Certainly we're all going to get in a room together and do what's best for the SEC but my responsibility first is to take care of Auburn. With the history for that game and playing in that game and experiencing it, it was just something that I wasn't going to compromise on, nor was Gus (Malzahn) or Dr. (Jay) Gogue and the Auburn family. Georgia was the same way. We were really excited to get to continue to play the University of Georgia."

Georgia was forced to travel to Auburn in consecutive years (2012 and 2013) because of the scheduling quirk related to the SEC's expansion to 14 teams in 2012. The SEC has no plans to balance out the one-year hiccup.

Ok, maybe Joe was right cause this is some bullshite

That was to get 1 division playing their cross-div. rival H 1 year & A the other. That way each side is balanced in that game.

I don't get why people get so upset over this. Every other year, we have to play LSU, Alabama, and Ole Miss on the road. . .

It will never happen because of TWLOCP, but I wish the DSOR was held at the Ga Dome every year.

Because you all lose the majority of those regardless?

This would be better than playing both teams on the road each year

It's still a road game, your argument is flawed.
