Title: 2017 Schedule Out
Post by: wesfau2 on September 14, 2016, 10:49:27 AM: Auburn 2017 football schedule

Sept. 2: Georgia Southern
Sept. 9: at Clemson
Sept. 16: Mercer
Sept. 23: at Missouri
Sept. 30: Mississippi State
Oct. 7: Ole Miss
Oct. 14: at LSU
Oct. 21: at Arkansas
Oct. 28: Open
Nov. 4: at Texas A&M
Nov. 11: Georgia
Nov. 18: ULM
Nov. 25: Alabama

Immediate thoughts:

September should be pretty doable, provided we put forth a defense similar to '16 thus far and an offense that resembles last week's version. What a pantload for the home crowd, though.

October is pretty brutal, with a couple of rough road trips. I like the bye at the end of the month, though.

November is typical, except that we're playing a (relatively) respectable team between UGA and bama. Do not like that.

You get two good games on 9/30 and 10/7 and then have to wait until 11/11 and 11/25 for the next two good games.

It was like that in 2015 too. As a resident of Auburn at the time, it was noticeable. We had our first good home game against Miss State on 9/26 and then didn't have another meaningful home game until 10/31 against Ole Miss. It was like the season hadn't really started.

When we got twisted around so UGA and UA are either both home or both away in the same season it messed shit up.
