NWALA Tiger 3,535 Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Yall think we will get stuck with both Georgia and Bummer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randman5000 4,235 Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Bama, Uga, Ole Miss or Miss St. It's still a tough schedule but Def not LsU, Uga and Bama.!! Or UF, Uga or Bama!! We don't need seasons where we are playing Athens, Turd Town, and Baton rouge or the Swamp. I would settle for mizzou, Vandy or Kentucky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUinMS9528 1,086 Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 I would like Vandy, Mizzou, and MSU, OM, or Arky as the 3rd. It will probably be bama, uga, and LSU. Just because 🤦♂️ I can’t imagine a scenario where we don’t get bama and uga. So Vandy is the best case scenario with those two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 16,777 Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 bammer, UGA and Florida. Bring 'em on. If we just HAVE to have one wimp-out opponent, make it MSU. At least we have some history with them. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quietmaninthecorner 1,949 Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 (edited) LSU cause it is a fun place to visit fans are wild and rude, but funny and entertaining. It is fun to get to go there every other year. UTen I always have a good time in Knoxville. It would be nice to get to go there every other year UF Again a fun place to play usually good weather. A fun town. I would like to have the option to go there every other year. Bama ...Nah that town is a dump. It would be nice to only have to go there every 4-6 years Uga no thanks fans are rude, insulting and often threatening. It would be nice to only have to go there every 4-6 years. MSU dumpy town etc Edited February 15, 2023 by Quietmaninthecorner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUwent 3,778 Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 (edited) There's no way we aren't getting UAT and UGA. So Anchor Down! The pairings I posted in the other thread are almost perfect I think...but I feel like I might be screwing Florida--Georgia, USCe, Tennessee--since those three actually have a better combined record since 1992 than UAT, UGA and Vandy. 🤔 I'd be okay with Cover 3's exact picks for everyone...but I don't think South Carolina would!

CMRVHS 52 Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 It will be the following three (nine game schedule!): Alabama Georgia Miss St or Ole Miss The third one is obviously the swing, but it doesn't matter that much to me. Hail State or Hoddy Toddy, give me some of that. Land grant vs best college town in the south competitor? I'll take either compared to how UCSe will be screwed. Actually, they could be matched with us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU-24 3,118 Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 With Sankey at the top, and the king turd, little Nikki in his ear, we could get screwed regardless. But I am so glad that our current AD is Mr. Cohen, versus the last two while this scheduling process takes place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryAU 1,694 Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 I don't think it'll matter all that much who we get paired with. If teams aren't permanent opponents, they still get to play every other year. They will use permanent opponents to preserve the longest standing games. And they have to lock-in certain gams for TV ratings, after that there will be plenty of marketable matchups and they'll get every single one over the span of 2 yrs.

CoffeeTiger 5,227 Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 (edited) Just a (not so fun)fact, in the last 15 years, Georgia Tech and Auburn have the same exact record in their yearly rivalry game vs Georgia. 3-12 Edited February 15, 2023 by CoffeeTiger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see some preferring UT. Anyone else would be mostly random. People are also forgetting that UF was bland and average, never won the SEC before like 1993. They really haven't been that great for almost 15 years. Lots of meh in there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's best to have a balanced schedule with a couple really tough games and couple cupcakes, and the rest being middle of the pack opponents. I want AU to compete and win Championships. Having a super tough, unfair schedule every year...while might make for good tv, doesn't benefit AU as a program that much in terms of the W/L column and championship trophy cabinet. + When the playoff expands there will be even LESS reason to have a really hard in season schedule cause no matter what you'll have a murders row in the multi game playoff anyway. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no reason why Auburn shouldn't be in the playoff picture with a 12 team expansion, with or without a "murderous row" schedule. And I am 100 percent sure the schedule would be taken into account in the playoffs such as back in 2017 when we were a two loss team and was a sure in to be in the playoffs if only we had handled LSU. And no there is no definite that it will be murderous row in the playoffs. If anything the SEC will set us to be able to handle adversity by playoffs teams compared to other conferences. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUBwins 10,107 Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 You are always going to have 3 tough games each year. I'd much rather stick with traditional Amen corner of teams (just not back to back to back lol). If we already have 3 tough ones, it is likely the other 6 will be easier than others. Besides, not convinced that Florida is on the way up. UGA, Bama, UF (although I would be ok with UTk replacing GA hehe) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So playing more harder opponents with more talent and bigger players wouldn't lead to more injuries? Injuries and exhaustion from playing top ranked opponents every week would have no impact on AU? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
