For the first time since 1936, a regular season meeting between Georgia and Auburn might not take place in November 2020. And that might be the norm for a few years. Georgia football, Auburn and the SEC are reportedly planning on moving the game to earlier in the year starting in 2020. The new spot on the schedule will remain until at least 2024.
The reason for the move is simply because Auburn wants to break up trips to Athens and Tuscaloosa. When the SEC added Missouri and Texas A&M in 2012, it created a scheduling hiccup, and the solution for the hiccup was changing the location of the 2013 edition of the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry.
