We already play Georgia, LSU and Bama every year. How is it so bad if we added florida and tennessee..?

5 games>3 games. This isn't NCAA Football on xbox where you make all your OOC games against top 10 teams and it doesn't matter. I think you're also dismissing what will be the outcome as far as your OOC schedule is concerned. You will never schedule good OOC matchups again if that is your SEC schedule every year.

Sorry you don't have any good rivalries, I guess.


I don't think many people care about the Auburn/Tennessee and Auburn/Florida "rivalries." I doubt you're even old enough to remember when they were. And there should be a limit on the number of games you call rivalries. When you view damn near half your conference schedule as a rivalry game, then IMO you can't really call all of them rivalries. They are just games you used to play every year. We've played State more than any other school in the SEC, but that doesn't make it a rivalry. We've played Florida every year since 1971, and it's not a rivalry game either, it's just a good series we enjoy playing.

Maybe. Again, number of times played doesn't necessarily constitute rivalry rhough.

At the end of the day, I at least want to see 9 games. I want to play Florida and UT more again. I'm only 19, but I remember some DAMN good florida games, 06 and 07 come to mind. Tennessee, bc we haven't gotten to play them as often, has usually matched up against us as an inferior team (2013). But I know what was there once.

Anyway, none of it will happen anyway lol.

Edit: I really do believe regardless we need a 9 game schedule
