all me a skeptic or pessimist, but the SEC could really play games with scheduling using this arrangement. I wonder how Alabama will fare once the conference starts working with new schedules and permanent games...

Depends.

Is the Bama alum that was in charge of "bridge scheduling" going to be in charge of this too?

If so, we have our answer already.

With three permanent rivals, Alabama will definitely play Tennessee and Auburn every year. If they play every team over a 4 year stretch, they will likely play LSU about half as often, but they would play UGA, Florida, Texas, and Oklahoma way, way more often.

Overall, even in Alabama gets matched with Vandy, the schedule will end up being much more balanced among the teams in the conference.

(I'm betting LSU gets Texas 4&8, R-Kansas, and Go to Hell Ole Miss as our permanent rivals.)

GEAUX TIGERS!
