It was about rivalries, with other matchups filled in afterwards.
Auburn/UF used to be a big rivalry game. Many fans of both schools were disappointed when it stopped being a yearly contest.
Some of the other second matchups kept long standing matchups in place that weren't really rivalries. While UGA and Ole Miss didn't play them every year, we played them pretty frequently from 1966-1991.
It was a reasonable decision to cut down to 1 game, even though Auburn and UF missed their yearly matchup.
