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.

that's yalls problem, not ours or anyone else's in the SEC. And it's also only a "problem" because UGA and Bama are so good, I don't recall auburn crying this much about it in the 90s or early 00s.

the state of the eastern division has literally nothing to do with auburn playing uga/cupcake/bama to end your season.


I don't care what the political correct statement will be from officials, the bottom line is AU thinks their schedule is too hard and wants to make it easier by moving a game that has been in the same spot since WW2. And somehow, for some reason I can't explain, our AD is going along with it.

Didn't hurt much in the 80's and 90's and you usually have an off week or cupcake before both games.Dont see the issue here.

Aub.'s played Ala. @ Aub. since 1989 in odd years. Aub.'s played @ UGA since since 1959 in odd years.

This WASN'T an issue for you until 2014!!!
