It was unbelievable when it happened, and it has honestly been unbelievable ever since. Auburn and Georgia have one of the best secondary rivalries in college football. The Deep South's Oldest Rivalry has been played annually for one generation after another. Outside of 1943 because of World War II, Georgia and Auburn have played every fall since 1919. They have faced each other 129 times to date.
Until recently, it had been one of the most competitive rivalries in the sport. Georgia holds the all-time series lead at 65-56-8, having won eight in a row dating back to 2017, 11 of the last 12, 13 of the last 15, and 16 of the last 19.
