The Auburn football program, like the rest of the SEC, found out its fate in 2024 when the conference does away with divisions with the conference’s June 14 schedule release. As it turns out, many key rivalries like LSU, Ole Miss, and Mississippi State will be off the schedule; in their place Missouri, Kentucky, Vanderbilt, and Oklahoma. That’ll change in 2025 when Alabama and (potentially) Georgia are the only teams from the season before on the conference slate.
Regardless, what AU has been through since the formation of the current SEC West in 2012 has been nothing short of a wood-chipper — one Auburn Rivals’ Brian Stultz doesn’t think Big Ten powerhouses Michigan or Ohio State would be keen to face on a regular basis.
