Interesting that back in the day Bama had it's very own Peach State rival in Tech.
What are the iconic "5 games" for each of the SEC teams?
Actually kind of curious about the era where Alabama and Auburn did not play, but Tulane and Georgia Tech were still in the conference.
My guess for Georgia:
Tech, Florida, Auburn, Vanderbilt. I don't think Georgia and Tennessee really played that much back in the day, so would it be Kentucky?
I'd guess LSU played both Mississippi, both Alabama schools, and Tulane. Maybe. Hmmm not sure if they played Auburn too much back in the day, and the Florida/LSU game only became a thing in the 70's.

LSU played Tulane, Ole Miss, and Mississippi State regularly...Alabama and Auburn weren't regularly on the schedule until the 1970's...
