Call 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...


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!

There’s no way LSU is getting off that easy on permanent opponents. A&M is right on the borderline of the top half and the other two are bottom half historically. More than likely, each top 8 team is getting two other top 8 teams. The only question is whether Tennessee or A&M is considered #8 after Bama, LSU, Georgia, Florida, Auburn, Texas and Oklahoma. More than likely they put A&M there to balance LSU and Texas. LSU is still going to get one of the others as well, probably Bama or Florida.
