re: Would Auburn Give Up The Iron Bowl To Move East?

So according to your post, excluding Georgia which everyone agrees is important, AU has played about as many games against west teams than east.

You can't remove the team at the top and then compare numbers. That's absurd. Even going one-by-one, like you do, its obvious:

#1 most played team in each division: 111 Georgia, 89 Mississippi State
#2 most played team in each division: 84 Florida, 74 Alabama
#3 most played team in each division: 51 Tennessee, 49 LSU
#4 most played team in each division: 38 Ole Miss, 33 Vanderbilt
#5 most played team in each division: 33 Kentucky, 25 Arkansas

The Eastern team trumps the Western team in 4 of the 5 slots.... despite Auburn being in the West for the past quarter century.

It seems like they have historically played as much against the West.

It seems you aren't good at math: 331 games played against the East; 283 games played against the West

UF skews the numbers but the of their historical games, sans UGA, has been basically been against the western teams.

You can't throw out the rivalry with Georgia, then admit that a ton of games have been played against Florida... but then say "but after that they've played more games against Western teams". You are throwing out the top 2 rivalries out of the East in order to try to justify your argument. And even then you are failing because that leaves no explanation for how Auburn has played Tennessee more times than LSU... Kentucky more times than Arkansas... and Ole Miss only two times more than Vandy... all despite not playing any of them annually for a quarter of a century.

Sorry, your argument fails.
