Yeah, because if you think there is a better way to do things it means you are afraid of Florida. The competitive balance thing isn't a big deal to me because it does go in cycles. I'm glad we got to kick the shite out of Florida last year because it meant more than doing the same to Vanderbilt. We get Florida when they're on top and when they're slightly down so it evens out.
Is that really fair to other teams though? Arkansas won't play them often and what if they happen to get them while they are a juggernaut, while somebody like ole miss or A&M get them while they are down a little?

Well, I’ve already made the argument, repeatedly, about how the permanent rival of each team matches up with the historic strength of the programs, so I don’t see the problem. It maintains tradition and competitive balance at the same time. The traditional best teams play each other, the middle class teams play each other, and the bottom feeders play each other. Sure, there’s some variance in quality (USCe is currently ascendant, Tennessee is on a low ebb), but not enough to be truly concerning.
Teams vary in quality from year to year. Some times you luck out, some times you don't. Trying to account for that variance is a fool's errand.
