re: Why did the SEC only play 6 conference games a season up til the late 80's

. It wasn’t until expansion and creation of divisions that scheduling became controlled by the REC through their puppets at the SEC office in Birmingham.

Not just Auburn. We played Bama in Birmingham as well. We didn't play Alabama at Tuscaloosa regularly until 1999 (there had been a few super early games there but from 1930 until 1999 it was between Neyland and Birmingham)... And when we played Ole Miss it was always in Memphis at the Liberty Bowl which has the distinction of hosting games for UT, OM, and Miss St (as well as other southern teams).
