Georgia traditionally plays Auburn this week but Auburn got mad about constantly playing Georgia and Alabama back to back so the SEC put the Auburn Georgia game earlier in the season so poor liitle Auburn would have a breather between playing their big brothers.
Does that answer your question?

We’ve actually been playing a cupcake this week for a while.
And all we wanted was to play in Athens two years in a row so we could have the rivalries back to how they were before Mizzou/A&M screwed up the schedules. But for some reason we didn’t get that wish and they made it worse by moving it up

From the mid 90s until just a few years ago this was Iron Bowl week. Then the rest of the conference got their panties in a wad that Auburn or Bama might have an off week before the SECCG if they won the west, so the league office stipulated that you have to play in week 13, so the Iron Bowl moved back to the Saturday after Thanksgiving and both Auburn and Bama have played cupcakes the week before.
