re: What would it take to get Auburn's historical schedule back?

Last year Auburn played (Final AP Poll):

#1 LSU
#4 UGA
#5 Oregon
#6 Florida
#8 Alabama
and
#10 Minnesota

AU finished the year at #14.

I guess last year just brought up "good memories" of past schedules.

Why play the game if you don't want a challenge from time to time?

There is nothing better than that feeling of competing against the best of the best, and not knowing the outcome until it is done.

This is why we watch this sport year after year.

It is simply beautiful to behold.

You may not win it all every year, but who cares? It is just plain fun, as it should be.
