ATLANTA -- The SEC has ordered Auburn to trade out a road game at Florida for a home game against Texas A&M for 2012, a result of league expansion and a widespread change of conference schedules.
The league is expected to announce those changes Wednesday when it reveals new conference schedules to account for the addition of Texas A&M and Missouri.
Another change in Auburn's schedule is an expected home game against Vanderbilt next season will now be played in Nashville. The Commodores will play in Auburn in 2013 before rotating back off the schedule.
The SEC home games for Auburn will be A&M, LSU, Arkansas and Georgia. The SEC road games will be at Vandy, Ole Miss, Mississippi State and Alabama. Auburn will open the 2012 season against Clemson in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game in the Georgia Dome.
The new SEC schedule means Auburn's every-other-year tough road schedule just got tougher. The Tigers will play at LSU, Arkansas, Georgia and Texas A&M in 2013.
Florida rotated on Auburn's schedule for 2011 for a game in Jordan-Hare Stadium. The expected return game was canceled by the league.
League expansion and the juggling of the schedules likely won't change one iconic game. The Iron Bowl will likely remain last game of the regular season.
