The AU/LSU game has been fantastic from '88 onwards but let's not forget that expansion in '92 made the rivalry possible.
LSU and AU played only 8 times over a nearly 50 year period from 1943 to 1991.
There was no rivalry until divisional play (and one magical earthquake game) made it into one.
Perhaps this expansion will lead to some new fun matchups. Add a 9th game in and we'll see Auburn every other year.
Something has to give when you add more teams. Auburn and Florida were historic rivals. That rivalry was initial preserved despite expansion in '92 but eventually got scrapped when we slimmed from two permanent cross division opponents down to 1.
That 9th game with no divisions would allow Auburn to play Florida or LSU every year, right?
