re: Alabama vs Auburn

My god. Can these commentators suck off Alabama anymore?
This is why Georgia fans were so against getting rid of divisions. No longer are their toughest opponents Tennessee and a 6-6 Auburn every year.

Auburn isn't winning a series again this year

I made this a few years ago when they announced Texas and OU. Mix and match however you like but it will likely look something like this once they make the announcement to go to 9 conference games.

re: PAC 2 Expanding?

Will this encourage Cal and Stanford to return to the PAC-12? The whole reason they left was because of the perceived collapse of the PAC-12. The ACC isn't in a much better shape. The Mountain West should take back Idaho, along with Montana, Montana St, NDSU, and SDSU.

I think they’re waiting to see how things develop with the ACC.
Almost certain. The general consensus is that they’ll move to 9 conference games, with only 3 annual rivals. With Auburn already getting Alabama and Georgia, it’s unlikely that they’ll give us another top team. Auburn’s third would probably be Miss State.
The aviation program has been lacking a bit since they built the Flight Education Building. Their hourly rates for aircraft have gotten to the point where they can only cater to the ‘Daddy’s Money’ type of students. The stage progression is also beyond slow. Students shouldn’t be taking over 4 years to earn 250 hours for a commercial rating.

re: Auburn… you guys ready?

Only when its at home. These 11AM kickoffs give the visiting team a bit more of an advantage than anything later. The crowd is half asleep. Arkansas 2021 is a good example.

I’ve also noticed this. Not only amongst travel for football, but just traveling in general. Floridians are more likely to travel within their own state for vacation and leisure. I suppose this extends to supporters of the university as well. Probably doesn’t help that they haven’t played a true road non-conference opponent in decades.

Oof
My biggest gripe is how this going to effect everyone's scheduling. We finally got it to a point with 16 teams that we are able to get rid of divisions and play everyone twice within a 2 year time span, but now thats going to have to be reworked again. Unless the conference moves to an all P5 schedule for 12 games, a 18 or 20 team conference is going to be hard to work with.
If enough Pac-12 teams migrate to the Big Ten, I'd imagine they'd create a division for west coast teams to minimize traveling long distances for second-tier sports.
What happened with Cal and Stanford? I thought they were supposed to go as well.

1. Clemson
2. FSU

These two are the most likely. Going to be interesting how scheduling would work as both of them are already annual non-conference opponents for existing members. Now that these matchups would be considered conference games, it will force UF and South Carolina to give up another permeant rival.
2007 Auburn vs. Florida. Auburn lost to Mississippi State and USF in previous weeks, then goes to the Swamp and beats #4 in the country on the road as a 20 point underdog.

2002 Iron Bowl is another honorable mention.

Who amongst us does not

I would also agree with baseball. There’s 129 FBS teams and only 30 or so have a realistic chance. The field of possible baseball champions is massive. A team like Coastal Carolina winning a championship is only possible in baseball.
quote:

Some Auburn fans are hopeful that Georgia will be dropped from their future schedules as an annual opponent.


Not at all. We're upset about losing LSU and the SEC's refusal to give us Florida and Tennessee again. Nobody is considering the UGA game at risk of losing.
