This is all PREDICTIONS. Nothing official yet. If there is enough push back from LSU, could we get Florida instead of A&M? It makes absolutely no sense for OU to get Florida instead of A&M.

The only explanation I can see is that A&M behind the scenes is bitching already about potentially having Texas and OU as permanents. They think they’re too good to revert to playing both of them yearly and believe LSU is an important series. bullshite, to LSU the Florida series matters way more.

LSU has played Florida 69 times In conference (series tied 33-33) compared to playing A&M only 11 times in conference (LSU leads series 8-3). Outside of the Mississippi schools and Bama, Florida is the opponent that LSU has the most history with.

Beating Florida is one of the best feelings a season can have. One that I will miss.

I definitely would much rather play Florida than continue forcing a rivalry with those weirdos.

Number of conference meetings is a meaningless distinction. LSU has played A&M 61 times, which is very close to Florida. It would be more had the original conference expansion not ended the A&M annual series. A&M and Oklahoma have only met 31 times. That is not even close to being a legitimate rivalry.

Now that Saban has cried about potentially having UT, AU and LSU the SEC will accommodate him. His interview the other day is his way of flexing his muscle. The only permanent I see us keeping is Ole Miss and I have no idea who the other 2 would be. That’s just my 2 cents

Agree about OU UF not making much sense but we used to play A&M every year. We’re neighboring states and maybe the closest SEC team geographically. Hard to say A&M shouldn’t be an LSU permanent.

I, too, would rather UF over A&M.

Bama, UF, Ole Mrs.

TAMU just is more favorable imo bc LSU has a ton of alumni in that part of Texas.

I wouldn't mind seeing Texas as part of the 3, just to finally show them what Death Valley is really all about. They, along with OU will lobby to keep this from happening.

I wish we could have Ole Miss,Florida,and Auburn as our permanent. Until Saban came to Bama those were the 3 teams that I looked forward to playing every single year. Texas A&M fruit cakes don’t deserve to get to play us every year. They need to go play their butt buddies Oklahoma,Texas,and Arkansas every year
