I'm a little surprised Auburn doesn't lead this list. In the first 10 years of divisional play, when we had two permanent cross-divisional opponents, Auburn and Florida were the only teams that had two big-six teams as their permanent opponents from the other division. LSU was terrible for most of that time and the East was pretty bleak other than UF, UT and UGa, so it makes sense that Florida wouldn't be at the top, but I would have guessed that Auburn would have played more games against ranked opponents than the rest of us. Of course, I guess Georgia wasn't really all that good during that span either, so maybe that's why Auburn doesn't have more.
