[edit] Auburn's Rank in the 2006 game

Auburn was ranked #5 for this game. The table is right but the text is wrong.

[edit] Oldest vs. longest uninterrupted

The South Carolina - Clemson series is the longest running rivalry in The South, not Georgia - Auburn, just because they played the earliest game. Georgia - Auburn missed numerous games during WWI and WWII. South Carolina - Clemson has been uninterrupted since 1909, and is the 3rd longest running nationally behind Lafayette - Lehigh and Kansas - Kansas State. This article is very misleading... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.76.6.69 (talk) 02:47, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

What exactly is your complaint again? The article title is what the game has long been known as, based on it being the game first played between major college powers in the deep south, i.e. The Deep South's Oldest Rivalry. The article also makes it clear that it is the 7th most played rivalry. You are quite welcome to make the claim (with substantiation) in the South Carolina and Clemson articles that that matchup is the third longest uninterrupted series, but that in no way invalidates either of the factual claims here. FYI, the NCAA record book merely ranks the most played, not the most played uninterrupted. As to the "oldest" title; Clemson certainly couldn't claim such over Auburn or Georgia since Clemson didn't field a team until several years after AU and UGA first played. That first Clemson team was in fact coached by an Auburn grad that played in the first AU-UGA matchup, Walter Riggs. AUTiger » talk 04:17, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
