The 124th edition of the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry is officially set.

No. 12 Auburn will host No. 6 Georgia at 2:30 p.m. CT in Jordan-Hare Stadium on Nov. 16, an the game will be broadcast on CBS, the network announced Monday.

The game will be the second half of a doubleheader on CBS, with the early game between Florida and Missouri set for 11 a.m.

Auburn is coming off a 20-14 win against Ole Miss in Week 10 and will have an off week heading into its annual cross-division rivalry with Georgia. The Bulldogs, meanwhile, defeated SEC East rival Florida last weekend in Jacksonville, Fla., to continue their climb up the rankings. Georgia will host Missouri on Saturday before turning the page to Auburn.

The two teams have met annually since 1944, and the rivalry dates back to 1893. Georgia leads the all-time series, 59-56-8. Kirby Smart’s team has won each of the last two meetings -- last year’s matchup in Athens, Ga., and in the 2017 SEC Championship Game. Gus Malzahn is just 2-5 against Georgia during his tenure as Auburn head coach, with both wins coming at Jordan-Hare Stadium.
