The feelings are about to run deeper in the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry.

On Saturday, the Georgia Bulldogs, No. 1 in the College Football Playoff rankings, travel to face the No. 10 Auburn Tigers in the 121st meeting between the teams. Auburn’s first football game ever was a 10-0 victory in 1892 over Georgia on Feb. 20 (yes, really, February) in Atlanta. The Bulldogs got revenge two years later and it has been intense ever since between these two programs, whose campuses sit about 180 miles apart.

Perhaps the most glorious days for this rivalry came in 1981-88, when Auburn graduate Vince Dooley coached Georgia and Georgia grad Pat Dye coached Auburn. Georgia and Auburn won five SEC titles between them during that eight-year span. Want another coaching oddity between these schools? Auburn coaching legend and Tigers alum Shug Jordan was once an assistant football coach at Georgia — and the Bulldogs’ head basketball coach at the same time! (He was Auburn’s head basketball coach well before that.)

Georgia has won the past three meetings to take a 57-55-8 lead in the series. So in addition to the usual desire to beat an archrival, this year’s senior players at Auburn will aim to not only ruin Georgia’s national title hopes and and stay in the SEC West race themselves, but also to beat the Bulldogs for the first time in their careers.

Other than that, not a lot of stakes here, right?

So, with this year’s meeting between top-10 teams looming, we take a look at the 10 most significant games in the annals of the Georgia-Auburn (or Auburn-Georgia) feud.

No. 10: 2002, No. 7 Georgia 24, No. 24 Auburn 21

The Bulldogs, sixth in the BCS rankings going in, trailed 21-10 in the third quarter but rallied for a critical win on their way to their first SEC championship in 20 years. David Greene hit Michael Johnson on fourth down for a 19-yard touchdown with 1:25 left:

Greene passed for 232 yards, 141 of them to Johnson on 13 receptions, to help Georgia overcome a 124-yard rushing game by Tigers running back Ronnie Brown.

No. 9: 2010, No. 2 Auburn 49, Georgia 31

This wasn’t expected to be much of a game: Auburn came in 10-0 and second in the BCS rankings while Georgia entered the game at 5-5 (the Dawgs wound up 6-7, the only losing season in Mark Richt’s 15-year coaching tenure in Athens). But Aaron Murray passed for 273 yards and three touchdowns to keep Georgia in it. Auburn led just 35-31 after three quarters but pulled away in the fourth as Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton threw for one touchdown and ran for another. Auburn tied its highest scoring output in series history (the Tigers also scored 49 in 1996 but that came in a loss) and kept its record perfect on the way to a national championship.

No. 8: 1980: No. 1 Georgia 31, Auburn 21

Georgia, behind freshman phenom Herschel Walker, won its first AP national championship in 1980. This was the Bulldogs’ first game as the No. 1 team in the AP Poll that season. Auburn scored 21, tying two other teams for the most points a Georgia opponent put up that season, but the Dawgs prevailed. Walker was held to 77 rushing yards but scored a late 18-yard touchdown to cap a comeback. If nothing else, this very short clip is worth seeing for Auburn’s orange jerseys:

This meeting is docked a couple of spots because this isn’t the game most UGA fans are most likely to remember from this season. That’s either the Sugar Bowl over Notre Dame that clinched the title or the victory over Florida (“Run, Lindsay!”) the week before the Auburn game.

No. 7: 1971, No. 6 Auburn 35, No. 7 Georgia 20

Both teams entered their 1971 clash unbeaten at 9-0. Pat Sullivan, who went on to win the Heisman Trophy that year, and the Tiger offense handed the Bulldogs their only loss that season. Neither team won the SEC though — Auburn lost to Alabama as the Crimson Tide took the league title. Georgia finished the season ranked seventh after beating North Carolina in the Gator Bowl; Auburn lost to Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl and wound up No. 12.

No. 6: 1946, No. 3 Georgia 41, Auburn 0

The Bulldogs scored their highest margin of victory in series history on the way to the first unbeaten, untied season in school history. Despite their perfect record the Bulldogs finished third in the final AP poll behind No. 1 Notre Dame and No. 2 Army, which tied 0-0 in what is considered one of the most memorable games in the sport’s history. Georgia got some consolation, not only because it tied for the SEC title and beat North Carolina in the Sugar Bowl but because Charley Trippi was the Heisman Trophy runner-up and won the Maxwell Award. Useless trivia: Trippi, now 95, is the oldest living member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

No. 5: 1957, No. 3 Auburn 6, Georgia 0

Auburn shut out the Bulldogs on the way to its first national championship in the Associated Press poll (Ohio State took the honors in the UPI coaches’ poll). Not only that but it was the first SEC championship for the Tigers. All-American Jimmy “Red” Phillips caught the lone score:

This marked the second-to-last rivalry meeting in Columbus, Ga., which hosted the game for a few decades. And Auburn allowed 28 points the entire season, which goes to show how much college football has evolved in the past 60 years in case the video clip wasn’t enough of a clue.

No. 4: 1942, Auburn 27, No. 1 Georgia 13

Georgia spent three weeks atop the AP Poll, the first time the Bulldogs got there since the AP began ranking teams weekly in 1936. But the unranked Tigers ruined Georgia’s hopes of an undisputed title. According to the ESPN College Football Encyclopedia, the Tigers figured out that Trippi tipped off plays based on his pre-snap setups. Several ranking services still named Georgia — led by the school’s first Heisman Trophy winner, Frank Sinkwich — as their champion but Ohio State earned the AP honor. Despite the loss, Georgia earned its first SEC championship.

No. 3: 1983, No. 3 Auburn 13, No. 4 Georgia 7

Both teams came in ranked in the top five for the first time in series history and both ended up in the top five (Auburn was third, Georgia fourth). Auburn shut out the Dawgs for nearly 58 minutes, but Georgia got its touchdown with 2:11 left. Georgia then successfully executed an onside kick, but Auburn put the clamps on and clinched the SEC championship. What’s truly amazing about this year is that it was the first time since the league was founded in 1933 that Auburn and Georgia finished 1-2 in the SEC.

No. 2: 2013: No. 7 Auburn 43, No. 25 Georgia 38

This is a season Auburn fans will remember for eons, and the Georgia game was a major launching point. Auburn led 27-7 late in the first half before Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray led a comeba … Ah, forget it. This game was about one play, wasn’t it? So let’s see it already:

The Tigers were No. 7 in the BCS rankings going in. This play and the “Kick Six” against Alabama — Here’s a good debate starter: Which winning Auburn play was more improbable? — sent Auburn on its way to the SEC title and the national championship game. Florida State won that one, a game where a last-second finish went against the Tigers instead of for them.

No. 1: 1982, No. 1 Georgia 19, Auburn 14

This was the lone rivalry showdown between two of the greatest players college football ever saw, Herschel Walker and Bo Jackson. Walker rushed for 177 yards in this game and went on to win the Heisman Trophy. Jackson, a freshman in 1982, joined him in the club in 1985; on this day he had 58 yards on 14 carries.

But the story late in this game was defense. Auburn drove deep into Georgia territory in the final minutes until the Bulldogs stiffened and clinched the program’s third consecutive SEC title. “This is the best football team we have played all year,” Vince Dooley said afterward.

Just like 1980, Georgia came in at No. 1 in the AP Poll for the first time all season. The Bulldogs completed the regular season unbeaten and No. 1 but lost to Penn State in the de facto national championship game, the Sugar Bowl. Still, the 1982 Georgia-Auburn game meeting was about more than just the stakes. It was about perhaps the two most iconic players ever to play at both schools — or anywhere else — on one field on the same day.
