re: Totally FWIW... Each teams top 2 Cross Division Rivals records since 1992...

AU has played a tougher schedule than any sec team since before 1992. Since at least 1980, no sec team will even compare to AU in terms of strength of schedule.

I could total it all up ... but no, Auburn has not played the toughest cross-divisional games since expansion. SCAR has played more SEC West champions and more National Champions from the East and West than anyone from the West and probably the East since expansion, until maybe very very recently ... during the regular season, not counting SECCGs.

Beginning in 2014

@ Auburn

So no, it probably ain't changing anytime soon.

Cocks dgaf ... line'em up and let's play.

I'll line SCAR's historical schedules since expansion up against anyone else's.
