The Deep South's Oldest Rivalry is about to stray from tradition.
The SEC is expected to move the Auburn-Georgia series from its traditional spot in late November to early October beginning in 2020, Georgia president Jere Morehead confirmed to reporters on Wednesday, one day after 247Sports reported the schools were close to moving the annual series.
It would be a major change for the rivalry. The schools have met in November every season dating back to 1937.
Morehead added that Tennessee and Auburn would swap places on Georgia's schedule. Georgia and Tennessee traditionally meet in late September or early October.
