These 2 teams rarely played each other before 1992.
Other priorities? Full schedules? Grinders called dibs?

REC ruled the SEC and padded their schedule with them.

distance. Oxford was very hard to get to until they 4 laned hwy 6. That's why they played in Jackson all the way up into the early 90's.

We were always pretty loaded down with rival games before expansion.
UGA, Bama, Florida, and UT were our rivals every year no matter what so we didn't have a lot of room to rotate everyone else.

LSu and Auburn didn't play much then either.
Auburn was essentially an eastern division team, mainly playing florida and georgia in addition to the iron bowl.
