Will LSU-Bama stay as a yearly game when UT and OU join?

After cbk won in his 1st attempt, bama is probably ready to swap lsu for a yearly match up with vandy.

I really just don't think ESPN is going to want to lose that annual game (if they have any say in it).

If there are 3 permanent opponents, we know Bama will for sure get Auburn and Tennessee. It would suck for them to get 3 Big Six members as permanents, but hey, permanent opponents have never really been fair.

In this scenario, LSU's would be Texas A&M, Ole Miss, and Alabama.


But who knows, I am in the minority. Most people would tell you that the LSU/Bama annual game would go away.

I hope so too. Would be a shame to not have two legendary coaches like Kelly and saban meeting annually.

No one has any clue other than the SEC. Knowing how things go, we'll probably get Georgia and Bama.

I doubt it. I predict the three will be Ole Miss, Florida, and A&M.

Ugh. To hell with TAMU. I want Florida every year.

Most models projected for each of the 8 football schools must play two other football schools as permanent opponents plus 7 other SEC teams. The going forward problem with the old model is that the 8 football schools were Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Florida, LSU, A&M, Texas & Oklahoma. Tennessee & Ole Miss were not included in the 8. I bet they are looking into Plan B now. Ole Miss may be a flash in the pan, depending on what Lane does, but the Vols look to me to be in good shape for a while. The bottom line is that the people who run the SEC (read Alabama peps) aren't going to have Alabama's 3 permanent's LSU, Auburn & Tennessee, no matter what ESPN says.

Don't disagree: LSU-Bama is house money. But how about LSU-Auburn over aggy?

Auburn has to play Bama and Georgia every year. They won't give them LSU too.

Some Big Six rivalries will have to be sacrificed. The most likely two are LSU/Auburn and Tennessee/Georgia.

No. Nick Saban and Birmingham don’t want that bro.
