Alabama is currently 5-5 vs Auburn at Bryant-Denny (Thanks DuBose and Shula!)
I actually would've never guessed that, but I guess they played that game in Birmingham for longer than I thought.
For Georgia, I would've probably thought of Tech since they play Florida on a neutral field
So for this metric, for Florida I was thinking either Florida State or maybe Tennessee?
For LSU: not sure. Might need help with this one. I had originally thought either Bama or Florida, or maybe Arkansas? (prob not the latter)

Literally moved to neutral sites in the early 1900s. It was initially Montgomery, then Birmingham (literally within 2-3 games of being in Montgomery). There were only two games played in Tuscaloosa before the move, and Alabama didn't even have a stadium then (both games were on the Quad). Both of those games, Auburn won. One was part of an 0-4 season in 1895 I think.
A lot of people will say Auburn is 7-5 in Bryant-Denny because they just count the number of games in Tuscaloosa, without realizing those first two there wasn't a stadium on campus to play in. So Auburn is technically 7-5 in Tuscaloosa, but 5-5 in Bryant-Denny.
Interesting tidbit - there was only one tie in the entire series, and it occurred in the final meeting before they stopped playing each other for 40 years.
