Link: Auburn, UGA, and SEC in Talks to Move AU/UGA Game on Schedule

I don't hear Alabama wanting to make their schedule easier. Those two programs are just wanting the easiest way? What a bunch of crybabies !!!!!!
The issue could have been avoided by the SEC if they had scheduled Bama at ut in both 2012 and 2013. They chose to schedule UGA at the barn in those years. One or the other had to be done in order to schedule UGA and Bama. With the new format that game could not be scheduled without an unequal number of Home and Away games for each because UGA and Bama were both playing their permanent cross divisional opponent at home in odd numbered years and away in even numbered years.
Then they (SEC) would be back where they were. Unable to schedule Bama-UGA. See my post above.
The only solution in the future will be to schedule ut at Bama in consecutive years and the barn at UGA in those same two years. I say only because they originally scheduled UGA at the barn in 2012 and 2013 so they would not do that again along with Bama at ut for consecutive years. This will not be done until the current rotating schedule for non-permanent opponents expires in 2025.
Auburn and TN should move out. They constantly whine about playing SEC teams yet want the prestige and dollars that go along with that. Actually they need to go to a conference where they can be the heavyweights, that's the only way they will ever be happy.
Aurburn has played Georgia and Alabama in the month of November for the longest. There was a few times the games were played in October way back when. They just want to make their schedule the easiest as possible. So who is going to swap with them? I wish the SEC would just ship the boogs to the east and go to a nine game schedule with one permanent opponent from the opposing conference. I am so sick of the boogs crying about something. It wouldn't bother me at all not to play them every year. They obviously need Bama worse than Bama needs them. Play your schedule and if you are good then you will probably win.
The other version is 'SUCK IT UP BUTTERCUP'...
Pretty sure Auburn and Georgia would not like being called Buttercup.
I'll definitely put myself in the minority and say that I'd rather see us play the Barn for the first game of the season, a la Colorado vs. Colorado State.
I know this may seem unorthodox, but we know that CNS always has Bama ready for the big marquee games to start the year, and (offseason injuries notwithstanding) you can guarantee that both teams will be as healthy - and thus "evenly" matched - as at any other point in the year. Therefore, the whining about injuries, lack of preparedness, scheduling unfairness, coming off bye weeks, etc. etc. are rendered moot. Plus, a loss by either team doesn't cripple your postseason chances as it very well can when it happens in late November.
Again, I know that this is out there, but it makes sense in my brain.
I have always said that. Bama would have time to recover and move on instead of the upset ruining our chances as often happens. That would take some of the starch out of Auburn, you know that "let's ruin Bama's season" that means more to them than anything else." Oh yes, when they beat us and we went on and won the National Championship they considered that they had failed -- even though they beat us that year. Move the game to the opening date.
Ok, so Alabama has to play LSU in November, but it's a problem that Georgia and Auburn play in November?
I would still prefer moving auburn to the SEC east and Mizzou to the west. Let auburn have Mizzou's date on UGA's schedule. Keep Alabama/Auburn as cross division rivals and drop UT. Let auburn play Alabama in JH and UGA in Athens then the next year reverse it.

I personally think that that would be a fascinating proposal if seriously approached, if for no other reason than to sit back and watch how AU reacts. Wouldn`t bother me a whit.
I fixed it for you. If they want to whine about their schedule being too hard, fine then let them do without Alabama.
