Former Alabama quarterback and college football analyst Greg McElroy shared his thoughts on Auburn’s 2024 SEC schedule in a recent episode of his podcast, Always College Football. McElroy praised the SEC’s decision to keep Auburn’s biggest rivals, Alabama and Georgia, on the schedule, but he noted that the rest of the matchups seemed random.
While Auburn’s 2024 schedule lacks consistency, McElroy approved of the SEC’s attempts to keep the most popular games intact. The Iron Bowl and the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry, Auburn-Georgia, mattered the most, and I’m glad they are still on the slate, McElroy said. However, there are some key matchups missing from the 2024 schedule, including Auburn’s matchups against LSU and Mississippi State.
McElroy also discussed other notable 2024 SEC games that fans will miss, such as Alabama-Mississippi State, South Carolina-Georgia, and Oklahoma-Texas A&M.
The release of each team’s SEC schedule has sparked reactions from college football enthusiasts across the region, and McElroy’s opinions have generated significant online buzz.
