The Auburn Tigers and Georgia Bulldogs football programs do not want the "Deep South's Oldest Rivalry" game to go away.
As On3's Barkley Truax acknowledged, there's renewed interest in an additional SEC game, which supports the idea that AU and UGA will get what they want.
"Both sides likely want to preserve the tradition. However, the debate over whether the SEC should transition to a nine-game conference schedule raged on during the conference’s preseason media days earlier this month. The Big Ten Conference adopted the model back in 2016, and the recent additions of Texas and Oklahoma to the SEC’s ranks has sparked renewed interest in adding an additional game," Truax wrote.
