I bet a lot on here dont realize that UF and Auburn played each other pretty much every single season from the 1920s until 2002. And since 2002 they have only played 4 times.

My point being that while it sucks and things change the SEC has made changes like this before. And after a decade or two majority of people forget and move on from it.


Oh I think most of us in this thread realize that and hated losing that as well. Same with Auburn/Tennessee for that matter.

But we've already wittled away 3rd and 4th level rivalries, which sucks but is what it is. We're talking about rivalries that these programs are built around. Georgia/Auburn is probably the most incestrial rivalry (no pun intended) in college football. Alabama/Tennessee was the game for Alabama people for 70 years.

These games are the fabric of southern football and we're gonna rip them up so Texas can play in Athens 3 times every 9 years instead of 3 times every 12 years.

It really sucks.

unless im mistaken, this really doesnt change those games happening as they can still be played, but will just be labeled OOC games every other year

Damn son. You're spot on, but it's still sad.
