Georgia traditionally plays Auburn this week
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.

This is why I liked the Arky-lsu game on Black Friday.
It gave us a day’s extra rest.
