Right, but there is nothing logical about that. It’s not about exciting matchups.
I have to disagree. It's about $$$. OU-LSU would be a bigger draw.
Just like when Texas AM joined the conference, they replaced Arkansas because they were perceived to be a better draw.
It's also more likely that both OU and LSU will be in contention for a conference championship or CFP than Arkansas. This matters.
Not saying Arkansas will be replaced, just saying options will be considered.

It has nothing to do about $$.
A&M and Missouri joined & neither had a rival. So they made LSU-A&M instead of pairing them & Mizzou together.
LSU-OU will make $$ regardless of whether it’s on 10/19, 11/16, or 11/30.
If it’s about doing rivalries (like the other 8 SEC matchups on rivalry week), then LSU-Ark & OU-Mizzou is what makes the most sense.

More important date if playing for post season.
It matters
The fact that we are not playing Mississippi State speaks volumes. I believe we have played them more than any other team. Says a lot about what the conference thinks about rivalries.

It would be the 3rd or 4th best game that weekend.
Like I said, if that was the SEC’s concern then they wouldn’t have Tennessee playing Vandy or UGA playing GA Tech.
ETA: Not to mention OU already plays Bama on 11/23 if you want to talk about postseason implications being considered.

Some years it would be, other years it may be tops. Regardless, it's doubtful Arkansas would ever rate higher.

that’s a worse game than Arkansas

We simply disagree on what their priorities are for “rivalry week”.

Arkansas closes with Missouri on 11/30. OU plays Scar on 10/19.

I haven’t seen that confirmed anywhere

Things could end badly for OU depending on how Arnold develops.
The SEC will throw them a bone with a bye week before the Bama/@LSU games to end the year, but Bama will be coming off Mercer and LSU off Vandy.

So you’re just speculating? You don’t have proof of Ark/Mizzou on 11/30 or OU/SC on 10/19?

1 aspect of a rivalry game is that it generates a lot of excitement on both sides. LSU/ark doesn’t come close to meeting that standard.

Neither does UGA-GA Tech or Tenn-Vandy
