We Belong in the East

We Belong in the East

Or at least give me a 9 game schedule.

Quote
AUBURN – 2014 vs. South Carolina; 2015 at Kentucky; 2016 vs. Vanderbilt; 2017 at Missouri; 2018 vs. Tennessee; 2019 at Florida; 2020 vs. Kentucky; 2021 at South Carolina; 2022 vs. Missouri; 2023 at Vanderbilt; 2024 vs. Florida; 2025 at Tennessee.
(Permanent opponents in 2014:  Home – Arkansas, LSU, Texas A&M; Away – Alabama, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Georgia.  Sites alternate home and away through 2025.)

We won't play Florida until 2019.  That's an eight year stretch between games with one of our rivals. 

Will play Tennessee in 2018 and then again in 2025.  Seven years between games? 

When I think of the SEC games that feel like traditional SEC games that I really care about being more than just a conference games, I think of Alabama, LSU, Georgia, Tennessee, and Florida.  We could keep Alabama as our yearly opponent.  Yeah, it'd suck to lose LSU every year, but that's one compared to two.  Geographically we're way more east than Missouri. 

On another note, 2015 should be a good year.  Alabama and Georgia at home and Kentucky's our other East opponent.

Agree. Other than UAT, I always thought of Georgia, Tennessee and Florida as our best series.
LSU would be the only other SEC West opponent I would miss playing though now maybe not as much since the Bamers needed a replacement rival in UT's absence.
