Should be noted that Auburn has played more big 6 schools that any other of the big 6 and it's not close.
Perhaps you do not realize that some of the league's best teams in its early years (1930s through '50s) are not the same as the league's current powers. Auburn didn't play strong Ole Miss and Vanderbilt clubs for years (also didn't play Bama or LSU for long stretches as well). Auburn also played Florida in those years when the Gators were not very good.

We have a .500 against Vandy specifically because a good portion of our games against them took place in the 30s through the 50s when they were good. We played the gators yearly from the formation of the SEC until 2002, and played Bama, Tenn, GA, and Florida yearly from 1956-1991. Trying to downplay how tough our schedule has been throughout SEC history is just silly.This post was edited on 12/23/17 at 1:47 am
