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.

So auburn doesn’t want to play rivals later in the year but is going to agree to play their rivals earlier in the year with auburn and Tennessee? Makes sense.

Because playing GT is the same as playing Bama.

Auburn has been at a huge disadvantage having your two biggest rivalries at the end of the season two weeks apart. It has been compounded in recent year with the state of the Eastern Division. Auburn had to play the gauntlet of playing the teams from the West and UGA had to prepare for maybe UF.
