I would like to see a three on, three off, so every four years everybody got to play everybody. Auburn fans wouldn't like losing there annual Georgia game.

The permanent rotating schedule was created/dreamed up by Roy Kramer, to protect two teams:

Tennessee (His homer school)

and...

Alabama (at that point, still the most prestigious/standard bearer of the conference)

It's the EXACT reason we have one "permanent" opponent from the Eastern Division, and then two "floating" opponents.

To a lesser textent, the UGA/Auburn game and its traditional rivalry was an impetus for this same scheduling formula.

Notice that LSU was given Florida as their permanent opponent? Hmmm...

ZAC

Are your refering to Gene Chizak when you say (were it not for Auburn getting a new coaching staff not to mention who it is).

I know as an AU fan that many fans, myself included, were a bit taken back by this hire intially. But if you look at what he had to work with at Iowa State he had little chance to succeed.
You really have to go back to Pop Warner to find a successful coach at Iowa State and that was in the 19th century.

The major difference will be
1. A quality assistant coaching staff.
2. Quality recruiting opportunities.
3. Quality players already in place.
He will certainly be given an opportunity to succeed.
Not to mention he is one on the best defensive minds in the game.

Well, given what Bama lost this past season, despite what they've got coming in, were it not for Auburn getting a new coaching staff (not to mention who it is), I'd be all over Auburn over Bama this season. Now, I don't know what to think.

Alabama: 39-33-1 versus Auburn. They had a losing record against us before Bryant, and since Bryant, but went 19-6 during...

For the record, Alabama only wins 54% of games against both Auburn and Tennessee. Anyone else call that dominating? 65% is my threshhold...

Thats funny stuff. Your what 19,20 years old ? and you think Bama has dominated AU. Well not in your lifetime they havent. And may never in your lifetime.

Auburn: is like a little brother to me. annoying, sometimes will give you a black eye, but you still dominate him, and when you knock him down you pick him back up and give him a hug. i love you auburn, but don't EVER get a big head.

Joe...you beat me to it. Not quite sure where this dominating force idea has come from.BC needs to put down the sauce.

You're probably right, but I didn't get that much input from Vandy fans when researching the thread.

Re: Who Are the Most Prevalent Rivals in the SEC?

ThePhan — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 11:45:47 -0000

Good job and a nice idea. As a Vandy fan, the only one I would question is South Carolina as our #3. Ole Miss, whom we have been playing every year for decades and with whom we have had some very competitive games, is probably a better choice for our #3.

"you've always been their biggest rival

So you're saying that we're on the top of Alabama's list? I'm confused...lol. Let me say this: On my personal ranking list of biggest rivals I have Auburn as the top, followed by Florida then Alabama. This is gaurenteed to be different from others....I just know alot of my close friends who think that way. It would wrong of me to assume all of Tiger Nation thinks that way though.

Wait.....I think you were replying toBamaBorn....soooorrrrrryyyyyyyy.

I work a 14/14 rotation. That's 14 days out and 14 days in. It's very nice being off half the month (play alot of golf, cook, etc).

I disagree. I think you've always been their biggest rival, especially after going 28 years undefeated in their house. They don't have any natural enemies in state, so they have to go out of state.

If Nutt wasn't at Ole Miss, the other one would probably be Tennessee or Auburn. Tennessee used to be our permanent opponent but that was changed to South Carolina, who's a little too far and new to be rivalry.

WEA:

Good stuff. I would have figured AU and UF being more hated than we appear to be by this reckoning.

You say Tennesse shoulda' been in the West--I think AU shoulda' been put in the East--with Tenn, UGA, and of course UF--and having UA as its one crossover. UF/AU was a GREAT rivalry. (Not sure who I'd send to West, so i'll just leave the matter unaddressed). The only question thebn would be how to preserve 3rd Sat/oct, since AU and Tenn would both want UA as their crossover, and AU would get preference.

Oh well...it ain't worth fretting over now.

GO GATORS!!
