Well call me crazy but playing Vandy, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, and South Carolina every single year does get a bit old.
Georgia is 61-18 (77.2%) against these opponents since 2001.... average score in these 79 games has been Georgia +11.9 points/game.
We're 12-0 against the rest of the SEC East the past two seasons. The average score:
You lose all credibility when you throw SC and Tennessee in there and begin at 2001 for whatever reason you did that ... and we all know why you did that.
Since 2000, this millennium, the series record of SC vs UGA is 12-7 in favor of UGA with the average margin of victory being exactly five points difference, or one score.

And you can be bored all you want. I can guarantee you that Kirby doesn't look at it that way especially given recruiting grounds and mUSChamp being a former teammate.
You're only 13-6 against UT with the avg margin of victory less than 6 points.
You're 16-3 against Vandy and 17-2 against Kentucky and you've laid some arse whoopings on those two.
You're 6-1 vs Mizzou while, at the same time, SC is 5-2 against Mizzou .... so we can get as transitional and arbitrary as you want to get Kyle but you're just being ridiculous.

UGA and Bama are at the end of the year for Auburn.

I keep seeing this floated around but that doesn't mean its true.
Top 15 opponents played BEFORE NOVEMBER for the following SEC West teams (2012-2018):
14- Texas A&M
11- Auburn
11- LSU
3- Alabama
Anyone who thinks Bama's schedule through the end of October is on par with the rest of their SEC West peers is obviously not well-informed.
I can remember a day when Bama fans screamed about teams like Vandy getting a competitive advantage because they had a bye the week before they played Bama.
Every stat out there proves Bama's schedule is far softer than anyone else's in the league and yet Bama fans want to act like this is no big deal. Sorry, but for the people who can remember the loud shrieks over teams like Vandy, Ole Miss, and Arky getting byes the week before they played Bama, it seems a bit ridiculous that you try to downplay the obvious scheduling disadvantages some of these other programs have compared to you.

Good off-season thread, Kyle.
Updating a post from last year, pre-season:
Below is a list of the final rankings of the teams that have defeated AU during Malzahn's tenure, with their highest poll position during that season in parentheses:
#14 (#6)
#1 (#1)
#11 (#1)
#T35(#6)
#9 (#6)
#4 (#1)
#13 (#11)
#16 (#4)
#28 (#20)
#30 (#18)
#10 (#3)
#26 (#7)
#1 (#1)
#1 (#1)
NR (#6)
NR (#9)
#2 (#1)
#5 (#3)
#4 (#1)
#18 (#12)
#2 (#2)
#6 (#6)
#6 (#4)
#28 (#14)
NR (NR)
#7 (#2)
#2 (#1)
So since 2013, AU has lost to only three teams that failed to receive a vote in the final AP poll - and two of those teams (TAMU and UGa in 2016) were regarded highly enough to be ranked in the top 10 at some point during that season.
Of our 27 losses under Gustav, 19 were to teams that finished in the final AP top 25, and 14 - almost half - ended the year in the top 10. Until last year's embarrassing loss to UT, every single loss was to a team that spent at least one week ranked in the top 20 during the season.
So yeah, our schedule is brutal. So what else is new.

Going through their losses, here are Gus' losses to teams that finished outside the AP Top 25 at the end of the season:
2018: at Mississippi State (#8 in S&P+)
2018: Tennessee (#48 in S&P+)
2016: Texas A&M (#27 in S&P+)
2016: at Georgia (#42 in S&P+)
2015: at Arkansas (#14 in S&P+)
2015: Georgia (#18 in S&P+)
2014: Texas A&M (#15 in S&P+)

What is hogwash is the fact that due to the current scheduling setup we are just now playing TAMU who has been in our league 7 seasons and we will not have a chance to go to LSU for another 11 years.
My son will be a senior at UGA and it is a shame that there are numerous SEC stadiums that he will not travel to as a student before he graduates. We should play every team home and away over a 4-5 year period.

quote:It is true Auburn has lost 25 games in 5 yrs. And about half of those were before November.
I keep seeing this floated around but that doesn't mean its true.
2014 MSU - loss before Nov
2015 LSU/MSU/Arky/OleMiss - losses before Nov
2016 Clemson/aTm/ - losses before Nov
2017 Clemson/LSU - losses before Nov (then Gus raped AU for a raise & extension because he kicked UGA/Bama's asses)
2018 LSU/UT/MSU - losses before Nov
It'll keep floating because it's true.

It's "Fl. doesn't play anybody OOC OUTSIDE the state border of Fl.!"

I've been saying this for years.... Auburn's problem is not its coach, its the schedule. When you play in the West and yet you play Georgia every year out of the East... plus manage to play one of the toughest OOC schedules in the country during the past several seasons, its a recipe for struggles.
Every Auburn fan recognizes this. This hasn't been anything new though. It has been this way for a long long time.
Auburn doesn't get upset because a coach loses. Auburn gets upset how a coach loses. When we have games where we look completely incompetent for a 3-4 game stretch, then look like world beaters the next 3-4, that will bring lots of frustrations. Gus's main problem is he is bad at roster management and he is incredibly inconsistent. That is just asking for a disaster when you play our schedule.
quote:
If Auburn wants to turn things around, its best bet to scream loud and demand to mix up the divisions, etc.
You mean like moving us to the east like we've been asking for years?
quote:
They also need to stop scheduling the likes of Clemson, Oregon, and Washington and just go ahead and schedule home-and homes with Kansas, Indiana, Wake Forest, etc.
2004 spooked lots in the higher ups about scheduling all cup cakes.

Playing a tough schedule opens you up to losing against inferior competition though
But 2 of those 3 toughest games that make the schedule so tough are the last 2 games of the year (or 2 of the last 3 with the 3rd being a 1AA team).
So I'm not sure what unplayed games against Alabama or Georgia have to do with losing to Mississippi State or Arkansas in October. JMHO.
