The Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry will continue on in 2024.

The Southeastern Conference released its new-look schedule Wednesday night, and it included Auburn playing at Georgia in 2024.

Earlier this month, the league presidents voted to adopt an eight-game league schedule for the first season with Texas and Oklahoma joining the SEC. The eight-game schedule with two new teams clearly put some traditional games at risk, but the Tigers and Bulldogs remain on each other’s schedule for now.

“It’s no accident that this is the oldest rivalry in the South, and it will continue to appease all the fans,” said former Auburn linebacker and current SEC Network analyst Takeo Spikes.

The Tigers and Bulldogs first played in 1892, and the rivalry has been played annually since 1944. Georgia has won the last six games between the teams and now leads the series 63-56-8.

Auburn also will host newcomer Oklahoma in 2024. Each SEC team will play either Texas or Oklahoma in the first two years that those teams are in the league. The Tigers and Sooners have played only twice in history — the 1972 and 2017 Sugar Bowls.

In addition to Georgia, the Tigers’ road games will be the annual Iron Bowl against Alabama in Tuscaloosa as well as games at Kentucky and at Missouri. Arkansas, Texas A&M and Vanderbilt will join Oklahoma in playing at Jordan-Hare Stadium.

The exact dates of the games will be released at a later date.

Noticeably absent from the Auburn schedule — home or away — is LSU, a perennial SEC West opponent. However, the SEC is going away from divisions in 2024 with the top two teams in the league overall playing for the title at the end of the year. Auburn and LSU have played every year since 1991.

“I think the one thing that is interesting about the Auburn schedule is you get the two games you have to have, and that’s Alabama and Georgia,” SEC analyst Paul Finebaum said. “You are probably disappointed about LSU, but you make it up with Oklahoma.

“I think the first couple of years and maybe forever, schools want to see Oklahoma and they want to see Texas on the schedule. With LSU, something has to go. If you get nine games in a couple of years, that game may or may not come back, but that is to me what it is all about – getting Texas and Oklahoma on your schedule.”

Auburn also won’t play tradition SEC West rivals Mississippi or Mississippi State in 2024 or former “Amen Corner” rival Florida.

“I was 0-2 against Auburn so I’m Ok not seeing them on the schedule,” former Gator Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow joked on the SEC Network.

The Tigers will host California in a non-conference game.
