COLUMN: Auburn Football Got Hosed With Its 2024 Schedule

In this story:
The Auburn Tigers got the short end of the stick with their 2024 schedule.
Granted, it's difficult to conclude the Tigers have "won" with any schedule they've been dealt since forever, but their first season in a new, division-less SEC is going to be a rough one.
Not only do the Tigers have to take a road trip to Georgia - winner of the last two national titles - but they also will travel to Kentucky and Missouri...
All in a row.
This is how the Tigers' 2024 schedule shakes out:
Vs Alabama A&M
Vs California
Vs New Mexico
Vs Arkansas
Vs Oklahoma
At Georgia
At Missouri
At Kentucky
Vs Vanderbilt
Vs ULM
Vs Texas A&M
At Alabama
That four game stretch in the middle of the season - vs Oklahoma, at Georgia, at Missouri, and at Kentucky... all at once?
With a road trip to Alabama still looming at the very end of the season?
Auburn's schedule could have certainly been shuffled around to be more balanced, but this is exactly what happened this season. It's an uneven chaotic mess of a schedule that will likely frustrate fans.
It's almost hard to wrap the mind around... three straight road games against three teams that finished 2023 above .500, two of which are currently ranked inside the top 10? Since when have the Tigers played three straight games on the road, much less like this?
It's ridiculous.
