re: Odd SEC football matchups

By comparison, Auburn and Ole Miss have only played 40 times (29-11 AU) despite being in the same division and playing annually for nearly 25 years

Tennessee and Florida have only played 45 times (Florida leads 26-19) despite being in the same division and playing annually for nearly 25 years.

Tennessee and Georgia have only played 45 times (UT leads 22-21-2) despite being in the same division and playing annually for nearly 25 years.

For those saying UT hasn't played Mississippi State very often. They have played each other 45 times (UT leads 28-16-1). That means that UT has played Mississippi State exactly as many times as they have played Florida and Georgia...it is pretty crazy to envision that.

If you want two teams who haven't played each other much...look at UT and LSU. They have only played each other 32 times (UT leading 20-9-3).

Face it...many of the old 10 team SEC teams didn't face each other very often.
