I want to keep Bama as a permanent game. Florida helps when they're good but lately they've been hot and cold, more cold than anything.

Ole Miss just because.

A&M meh. Don't get me wrong, I like playing them but I have my reasons to not want to play them every season.

Auburn. Crazy stuff always happens in that game.

Alabama
Ole Miss
Auburn

The rest will drop in intermittently, I guess. No idea how the rotation will work so I don't know how the schedule will change, outside of the permanent games, from season to season.

I would bet a lot that LSU-Ole Miss is kept by the SEC. It’s probably just under that 1st tier in terms of rivalries the SEC will make sure are played every year.

After that there are about 5 other teams I could genuinely see being the other 2 games but give me Bama and A&M every year too.

In the current setup, they've sort of become our natural rival and they've ended up in the "rivalry week" slot.

I mean we have our usual rival series that have featured good games but all of them have a more heated/anticipated rival

Ole Miss-State
Bama-Auburn/Tennessee
Florida-FSU/UGA
Auburn-Bama/UGA

With Aggy no longer playing Texas, it made some sense that LSU/A&M could develop overtime into that years end heated rivalry. Its a Border war, the series history is there and after beating them the first handful of conference years we got some bad blood back and forth going with the 74-72 controversial OT game, following up with the 50-7 revenge whipping, the last minute go ahead TD, a bad Aggy team officially eliminating us from playoff contention. Over the last 5 for us it's gone L-W-L-W-L so the back and forth is there.

I thought it had the potential over time, the next decade or so, to develop into a featured rivalry game. Like an actual rivalry game and not Magnolia bowl or The boot garbage. But with Texas coming, Obviously that series will return which again puts us the unreciprocated side of a more prominent rivalry series.
