Last week, according to Gridiron Now via his weekly radio show on ESPN 106.7 in Auburn, Dye said, “I’d rather see Auburn in the East than us to play Alabama every year. We don’t need to let Alabama dictate what we do at Auburn. We can play them on rotation just like everybody else.”
Geographically, it makes sense. I get it. Auburn is in the eastern portion of the state and is closer to East members Georgia, Florida, South Carolina etc. To make the move, a team from the West would have to be moved to the East (Looking at you Missouri, who makes no sense being in the East division).
