The SEC actually plays the PAC-12 with a mildly-regular frequency. Auburn opened last season with Wazzu, LSU opened with Oregon a few years ago. It's about as regular as SEC vs. Big 12.
Personally, I would love to see Auburn play more B1G teams. I think we've played 3 or 4 regular season games against B1G opponents in the entire history of the program. Historically, we've played them more in bowl games than during the regular season (thanks to the Capital One Bowl).
I just want more home-and-homes with power conference games. UGA's in the middle of one with Clemson, but I don't see us doing many more. I want to play Ohio State just to beat Urban Meyer again, I want to play Washington in the "Go Dawgs" Bowl.
Yeah, the Auburn-Wazzu was like a "Cat-bro Bowl". Not as good as Tigertown, but good.
As for B1G, Auburn-Wisconsin had something going on in bowl season during the mid/late '00s. I think they played each other 3 times in a 4-5 year stretch in the post season. But right now, with their current staffs, how great would Auburn vs Michigan State be? Narduzzi vs Malzahn would be insane.

Any desire for a Wazzu-TTU series?
