SC scheduling error


Oct 12, 2020, 10:01 AM

Bama and Ga play for the 70th time this weekend. Yet Ga has played Auburn 125 times. Same conference neighboring states. Divisional play only started a few years ago. It may explain 20 times not playing but not the other ducking of each other

UGA and Auburn are two of the oldest football rivals in the country which explains their huge numbers of games played.

I would guess their number of games vs Bama is much closer to the rest of the SEC than their games vs Auburn.

That conferences scheduling is puzzling. The coots seldom play LSU, Auburn, or Alabama. I realize they are in a different division but still one would think they would play more often. The coots record would be much worse if they had to play the upper tier teams which they avoid most of the time. UGA is the only good team they have to play every year in the conference.

It's not any more puzzling than how frequently we play the ACC Coastal teams with the exception of GA Tech.

Why don't Alabama and Georgia play every year?
For the second time in seven seasons, Alabama is playing for the national championship against a fellow member of the Southeastern Conference.

My wife had an uncle that used to talk about this and other examples of it. He has passed now. Wish I could remember some of his examples

UGA and Auburn are permanent cross-division rivals. They play annually. Just like we play GT annually.

I believe that division play started in the SEC in 1992 as that was the first year of the SEC Championship game after they expanded to 12 teams in 1990.

Also, Georgia and Auburn started playing each other well before they joined the SEC. Their first game against each other was in 1892, and there's only been 3 times since then that they haven't played each other.
