Auburn plays Clemson for the next 2 years, has Oregon for a neutral, and plays a home and home with The University of California.
Nice to see Auburn playing coast-to-coast in the future against the Pac-12.
Clemson, not so much. We have played them too often here lately.

Nobody but the SEC agrees that your schedule is "tough enough". You have gotten away with playing less conference foes, and this has historically resulted in generally an extra win for you all.
If you schedule a tough (or even an average)opponent to make up for the one-less conference game, that does at least put you on an equal footing with other conferences.
You don't schedule at least one reasonable OOC game? Then you are essentially in Baylor territory. They at least can argue that they play one extra conference game, and thus the B12 has 5 more guaranteed losses than the SEC has.
But I think all the power five conferences are going to go this route.

I don't mind because we have such a long history with them. They make for a good OOC rival. But if we're going to maintain a semi-regular OOC rival I'd rather Georgia Tech take priority
