According to Auburn, they would like to rekindle this long dormant rivalry with Tennessee. A realignment of divisions would allow AU and UT to play every year. Of course, if Bama keeps the Iron Bowl, that would mean we drop the TSIO. This year will be the 100th meeting of Bama and Tennessee.

We know how streaky the TSIO has been. Tennessee is now on a decade long skid to Bama. My question is would you be OK dropping the TSIO and playing Auburn every year? I see it as helping Tennessee's chances to get to Atlanta by going with Auburn. Or would you prefer to continue to play every year, take your chances against Bama, and square up these losses. Saban can't coach forever and we all remember when Fulmer was beating Bama on the reg.

Which rivalry is more important to you? Bama or Auburn?

I don't think Tennessee has beaten Auburn this century, so I wouldn't call that a "rivalry".

I'd gladly trade Florida for Auburn. I mean have you seen a Florida poster? Jesus Christ

Alabama without question.

I would like to play Auburn every year also but not at the expense of losing TSIO.

Misread the question. But I say let Auburn go to the East, the Iron Bowl can begin to officially decide the SEC champion instead of just indirectly deciding it.

Loved playing both. Bama is priority #1 though.

Bama.

The idea of getting to Atlanta via the "easy route" is pathetic. I want to get to Atlanta having beaten Florida, UGA and Bama, or at least 2 of 3. Is going to ATL on easy street the way to go? I don't think so.

If VOLS fans are whining about always having to play Bama every year, they are bitches and need to shut the frick up. I will take a L to Bama every year before I bitch out on TSIO.

We need to keep playing Bammer. No question. Shula, Dubose and Franchione will be back at some point.

Silly question. UT would always choose bama. It still doesn't invalidate the reasons Auburn should be in the east. It also doesn't change the reasons they were forced into the west.

Or we could move to a nine game schedule and keep both!
