Lose Auburn, Keep Florida, Gain TAMU & Mizzou

Sorry, just seeing the Mizzou news. Suppose Auburn-Alabama become permanent East-West opponents, and of course we would play Mizzou & TAMU, and I hope we retain Florida as our every-year-in-the-East opponent.

Guess the St Louis and Kansas City market is enough to tear down a great LSU-Auburn rivalry. Over the last 15 years, it has without question been LSU's most interesting and eventful rivalry, so I am not pleased with that, but thems the breaks I suppose.

Mizzou is very blah to me as an addition, and I am not excited to have another team playing Tiger-related songs and having 3 Tiger mascots in the SEC, but at least now Florida and Tenn will have to play Auburn each year...

But, does this mean Tenn and Bama no longer play? If so, Bama is the winner in this whole thing from a schedule toughness perspective dropping Tenn as their Easr opponent, and giving them an easier haul with the add of TAMU and Mizzou, retention of Auburn and loss of Tenn...

Not enamored with this option at all (if I am in the hunt on this off-the-cuff assessment), as I strongly prefered adding Clemson, VaTech or WVU instead of Mizzou.
