I’d be willing to bet UGA gets back to back home games as part of this deal as well.



I'd never say never, but I don't believe it is even an option. To do it would require uga to get 5 home games one season and the rest of the SEC would block that by not voting for it. Auburn could potentially live with 3 home games that season, but the decision wouldn't pass the 3/4 vote test due to the east teams opposition.

All cross division games should be played in September or October. This keeps us from playing UGA, Bama, UGA which happened last year in a 4 week span....

Sounds like this is all still in the negotiation phase so there has to be some benefit to UGA. Getting the extra home game back would be the only reason (at least from my view) and it also resets the home/home issue with Bama.

That's a load of crap.

What about this issue just years ago:

LSU/Fl.
2015 - LSU
2016 - LSU
2017 - UF
2018 - UF
