CBS is returning to Athens next weekend, as No. 9 Auburn travels to Georgia for the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry. Auburn improved its record to 7-2 Saturday, 5-1 in SEC play, after beating Vanderbilt while Georgia improved to 5-4 overall, 3-3 in conference play, by winning in Lexington.
Immediately following the conclusion of the Alabama-LSU game, CBS announced the news on Twitter:
It’s the best game from the best conference.
We’re going between the hedges next weekend for @FootballAU vs. @FootballUGA at 3:30PM ET.
