re: Permanent Opponents should go away

You’re correct. Alabama/Tennessee and Auburn/Georgia is the driving force of the permanent opponent set up. However, now that it’s in place you have other schools that like the set up. Ole Miss/Vandy and Miss St/Kentucky to name a couple. Why would they want to change and get possibly get a tougher game? What you end up with is enough votes to keep it in place.

I seriously doubt if you’ll see any change to it anytime soon.
