The End of the Road: The good news for Auburn is that Saturday’s game is its road finale. The bad news for the Tigers is that they have to travel 747 miles to face Texas A&M. Auburn has gone 1-2 on the road this season.
Moving Van-derbilt: The Commodores have to travel 576 miles this week to keep host Florida from clinching the SEC East. Vandy then has home games against Kentucky and Texas A&M before capping its road slate with a 181-mile trip to Tennessee on Nov. 28.
District of Columbia: Mississippi State has a 545-mile trip to Missouri for tonight’s tilt. The Bulldogs’ last trip of the season takes them 295 miles for a Nov. 21 game at Arkansas.
Georgia on Their Mind: The Kentucky Wildcats have to go 402 miles this week to take on the Bulldogs in Athens. Mark Stoops’ squad’s last road game of the season is next week — 214 miles away at Vanderbilt.
November to Remember: Arkansas’ 369-mile trip to Ole Miss this week kicks off a tough month for the Razorbacks. The Hogs follow that up with a 530-mile trek to Baton Rouge for their Nov. 14 game at LSU. They’re fortunate that their Nov. 21 contest against Mississippi State is at home.
Double Whammy: LSU’s two remaining road trips are the toughest of the season for the Tigers. The Bayou Bengals take a 337-mile jaunt to Tuscaloosa to take on Alabama on Saturday night before capping their road slate at Ole Miss on Nov. 21 following a 322-mile trip.
Road Awakening: South Carolina heads 264 miles this week for its matchup at Tennessee, its final game away from home this season. The Gamecocks are 0-4 on the road in 2015.
