Auburn used to offer in state to Columbus for sure and Lagrange maybe. That quit a pretty good while ago.

I wish Auburn played UF on a regular basis. It was a good rivalry and it is close to home for me. I would miss the LSU game, and I am not really sure how I feel about the IB going away. I cannot think of another team that would have a rivalry opening for the last game. Also that game gets so much hype, the winner gets a bump in the polls that may get them into the CFP. That would suck to wind up playing some OOC nothing game while everyone else dukes it out.

Good point....Iron Bowl gets huge national attention on what is rivalry weekend....It's pretty crucial to the polling and playoff committee....both teams would be hurting themselves by not playing the big rivalry game late in the season.

My sentiments as well. Iron Bowl is a staple in American sports, yet miss going to Knoxville and Gainesville.
