Auburn is desperate not to have to play LSU, Alabama, Arkansas, and A&M every year.
The lie about the rivalries is their cover. UF was a pathetic team for the first 100 years of the program, and the AU-UT rivalry was only an annual thing for about 35 years (late 50's to 1991) and most of the home games were in Birmingham.
They are terrified of trying to continue to compete in the west.

Why weren't Auburn people begging out of the West in the past?

bullshite. From 1950 on, Florida has one of the three or four best overall records in the SEC. They have had only seven losing seasons in that 66-year span. When Spurrier arrived, they hadn't had a losing season in 11 years. Currently, they've had one losing season in the last 36 years.
The big knock on Florida was that they didn't win any SEC championships until 1991, although they got screwed out of one in 1984 (won it then had it retroactively vacated), tied for one (with a team they beat) in 1985 but were ineligible and won one outright in 1990 but were again ineligible.
Florida wasn't the premier program in the SEC, but to call them "pathetic" shows a...well, pathetic lack of knowledge of SEC football history.
