Is there a pre-determined rotation of SEC East and West opponents in baseball, similar to football and basketball?

LSU did not play South Carolina, Georgia or Kentucky this year. Will they play all three next year? If memory is correct, Georgia and Kentucky are due to come to the Box. Not sure about South Carolina.

I assume, based on this year's schedule, that LSU will host Ole Miss, Texas A&M, and Auburn and will travel to MS State, Alabama, and Arkansas.

The teams in your division rotate home and away each year. To my knowledge, there is no rotation of the teams in the other division.

2013: Kentucky, South Carolina, Florida, @Missouri
2014: Georgia, Tennessee, @Vanderbilt, @Florida
2015: Kentucky, Missouri, @Georgia, @South Carolina
2016: Vanderbilt, Florida, @Missouri, @Tennessee

That's been the pattern since 2014. The 3 East opponents you didn't play the previous year, you'll play the next year, along with one repeat opponent. For instance, this year our repeat opponent from 2015 was Missouri. West opponents are easy to figure out, they alternate home/away each year just like football. Here's what 2017 should look like:

Home:

Ole Miss
Texas A&M
Auburn
South Carolina
Georgia

Away:

Mississippi State
Alabama
Arkansas
Kentucky
Repeat East opponent from 2016 (either Vanderbilt or Florida)

Thanks! I was hoping to make a nice road trip to Athens. But a trip to Nashville could be better, as long as we don't go to Vandy in cold, early-March.

If we play at Florida instead of at Vandy, I might just have to check out the new stadium at Bama (void of students in the outfield). Not going to that dump of a facility in Gainesville.

You're welcome. If I had to guess between Florida and Vandy next year, I'd go with Vandy based on the fact that we haven't played them as often as Florida since expansion. I believe the SEC is going for a rotation that plays each East opponent 4 times over a 7-year period. Since it's not announced as far in advance as football though, there's no way to know that for sure for a few more years.
