I'm not sure how you don't get this. Obviously Alabama and Auburn would rather play a week earlier because they would get a bye before the SECCG. The fact that they had to be ordered by a vote of the other 10 schools to play a week later proves that they were opposed to playing a week later. Just because they didn't put up a fight doesn't mean that they weren't opposed to it.

What part of the highlighted section below are you not getting?

In 1993 both schools agreed to move the game up to the week before Thanksgiving to give themselves a bye for a potential SEC Championship Game berth, but in 2007 the conference voted to disallow any team from having a bye before the league championship game, returning the game to its traditional Thanksgiving weekend spot.

BAMA wasn't asked to change a tradition...it was asked to return TO a tradition. How is that not clear? Or is your suggestion that anytime the SEC finally steps in an tells BAMA "No" about something suddenly means fairness reigns?
