What was once an every year rivalry has turned into a once-in-awhile sort of affair. Auburn and Tennessee met every season from 1956-1991, with the Tigers taking more than their fair share against what many would have called the second best team in the SEC historically. Since the divisional split, Auburn has ruled as well. The 90s were unkind with Philip Fulmer in command in Knoxville, but since Auburn’s last loss to the Vols in 1999, the Tigers have won six straight in the series.
