Auburn vs Georgia is known as the “Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry.” 1st played in 1892, they’ve played 128 times. UGA has won 16 of the last 19 matchups. The only major conference rivalry that has been played more often is Minnesota-Wisconsin (133).

Before UGAs current dominance over the Warplaintigereagles the point differential in the entire series was about a field goal. One or the other usually only holds a couple of games advantage in the series, again recent history not withstanding. Not only is one of the longest continuous rivalries it is also historically one of the tightest...again, recent history not withstanding.

A word of warning...when y'all travel to lovliest village on the plain don't whup 'em or they'll turn the fire hoses on you.
