[auburn4ever 1,266]

After we get home from playing at Cal, we'll play Georgia State on 9/25/21.

AUBURN -- Auburn's 2021 football schedule has another non-conference opponent.

I hope I'm wrong, but I bet that JJ will tell Jimbo Fisher and FSU's AD thanks but no thanks for trying to schedule an Auburn / FSU matchup in the Gator bowl for 2018 or 2019 because he wants Auburn to play South Alabama or Birmingham Southern or Alabama State.

Oh good! Another AU/JJ basher from "Auburn4Ever"! Who would have ever thunk that?

[augolf1716 21,108]

Bring on the Lobo's Auburn too scare to play us

Your ridiculous stance is OLD, tired and worn out. Find something new to complain about because you literally have no clue how anything works in college athletics.

[auburn4ever 1,266]

A team like Southern Miss, SMU, Rice, Tulane or South Florida would have been a better looking team on our schedule than Georgia State who's from the Sun Belt Conference.

[augolf1716 21,108]

You do realize bama is playing Ga. State the year before Auburn for $1.3 million

I'm still curious to see who ends up being the big 5 opponent for 2018 & 2019

The teams that raise questions with me aren't those like Ga St, but rather the small schools in Alabama; Jacksonville St and AL A&M. Personally I'd rather see us schedule Troy than those teams. A game against Troy could actually turn into a real game, for a couple of quarters at least. And it is a school where Auburn people have some connections.

I know some people think it would be a lose/lose situation for us, but I think an Auburn/Troy game would generate a lot more interest than games against the in-state schools we've scheduled.

Playing against any in-state school is a plus imo, Troy included. I would not exclude any of them due to size, that would be a something T-town would do.

You mean currently DOES not would do. All you have to do is look at the shutting down of uab's football program for proof. Obviously uat saw them as a threat and the only solution was to take the program away.

Sorry for the hijack. Back to the original topic.

you left out USF, UCLA, and Bowling Green

[auburn4ever 1,266]

Oklahoma and Ohio State would be great to have for a home and home series. But so would having UCLA and South Florida.

I know a lot of you don't mind seeing Auburn play teams like Samford, Georgia State, Alabama A&M, Mercer, Jacksonville State and Chattanooga. But remember this. In order to help your teams chances of playing in he 4 team playoff and a chance to play for the national championship, it's left up to people who says this team is in and this team is out is sometimes based on how tough their schedule was during the season.

[oracle79 3,569]

Win the SEC and you're in, whether your OOC was school of the blind and sisters of the virgin mary along with two junior colleges. I don't like playing no name lower level teams from the south that are probably more competitive with better athletes than the bottom tier teams in the power five conferences either, but I can't do anything about it other than STOP BUYING TICKETS AND ATTENDING THOSE STUPID GAMES. Then you'll stop seeing them on the schedule. And yeah, once you lose a game and don't win your conference...it makes a difference.

Let's see...bama played Southern Miss, Florida Atlantic and Western Carolina in the same season and made it into the playoff....wonder how that happened...?

[machineguntiger 0]

why do I get the feeling if we played the New England Patriots you'd still find something to complain about ?

Already been proven that that is not true. look at uat's non-conference schedule from last year. fsu played The Citadel last year not to mention playing in a subpar, crappy conference and they got in. Whether you like it or not, winning the SEC title will virtually guarantee that team a spot regardless of who they played out of conference.

FSU played the Citadel last year

Oregon played South Dakota (FPI 1)

Ohio State played Kent State (FPI 3)

Alabama played Western Carolina (FPI 2)

All this blubber about schedule is blown way out of proportion by fan emotion. (Oh and what War Tiger said ^)

Dude how do you make it through the day? I bet you get pissed off when you get an unexpected green light geez
