Makes zero sense for Georgia to agree to this. McGarity is reenforcing the idea that he’s a little bitch boy.

Would have preferred to have fixed Amen Corner's home and home issue, but I don't mind it. I have always thought it would benefit the SEC East if it had a big end of the season game between in uga and UTk or something.

Auburn pussing out because Bama and UGA are both good and it’s hard on them (which I suppose has never been an issue since WW2 until now).

UGA pussing out arguably even more by even entertaining this change. Only positive I can see is that it moves an otherwise challenging opponent to earlier in the season so as to free up the schedule later on for a postseason run. Still, this fricks with longstanding tradition for the sake of doing Auburn a favor.

Smart move, especially for Auburn. Any given year, Auburn would have to finish with Georgia, Bama, an SEC title game, and 2 playoff games to win the big prize. There good reason why only 1 or 2 SEC teams have beaten 3 ranked SEC opponents in-a-row since 1998. It's a tough chore for anyone, no matter what team you think you have. You'll have tired players while your coaches face decent coaching staffs, and then those opponents working off each other game-film for 3 consecutive weeks can tear any team apart.

I wish Bama could move the LSU game a little earlier in season. That game always takes a bunch of out both teams down the stretch, period! Bama finishing with LSU, Miss St, Auburn, Georgia, Oklahoma, and Clemson surly had to make the final stretch a tough chore. This is a reality many SEC teams could face any year....

More than not, programs from other conferences aren't finishing with that slate of tough games. The whole SEC would be smart, especially legit title contenders, to shift ending schedules around if need be. If not, many SEC programs will be at a disadvantage come playoff time.
