Florida and Auburn were original members from the SEC. What idiots at those schools decided to bend over and take it. I assume Florida would have played for a few more BCS championships if not for Auburn being a thorn in their side. Auburn might have had another SEC championship with a better schedule.

Auburn is Florida’s oldest rival, even older than Georgia. Auburn is also the closest SEC school in proximity to Gainesville. It was a great game that I hated to see go.

Further, Florida was the first SEC team to actually play in Auburn.
