If Auburn has its way, Tigers of a different stripe would roam the SEC East.
Former football coach and athletic director Pat Dye began beating the drum again in mid-May, suggesting that Auburn didn’t belong in the SEC West.
His preference, as explained on the May 15 “Paul Finebaum Show,” is to swap places with Missouri and move to a nine-game conference schedule.
“We touch Florida, Georgia and Tennessee,” Dye said on the show. “We need to be in the East and Missouri needs to be in the West. If we played nine games, we could do it, because we could still play Alabama every year then we’d have our rivalry with Tennessee and Florida and Georgia just like we’ve always had.
