Further, Florida was the first SEC team to actually play in Auburn.
I believe Georgia Tech played at Auburn way before UF.

Looks like GT played at Auburn in 1904 (before SEC was formed) but didn't go back to the Plains until 1970. They played a few games in Birmingham before that (starting in 1960), but for decades all games were played in Atlanta, for the money (teams used to split the gate evenly, so Auburn made more money playing GT in Atlanta than in Auburn).
Florida played at Auburn in 1939. Played a few Auburn home games in Montgomery before that.

You are right.
Florida was the first to play in Cliff Hare stadium.
I always forget about GT.
That was another team we always played, even after the left the SEC.
Up to around the late 1980s.
