Not to be bias, but I feel the SEC needs natural rivalry games. Being a Bama fan, LSU and Florida has in my opinion been one of the best games year in and year out in the SEC. Until 3-4 years ago, Bama and Tenn was the same. I think these games is what sets our conference apart from others. Look at what the big 12 did to OU - NEB. They ruined a long time season ending tradition in college football. Im for keeping the rivalrys!

Seems like they are trying to deflect so they can keep their Utenn game. It's stupid not to rotate- we will play some east teams every 10-12 years?

LSU-UF isn't a natural rivalry

If I were a Bama fan, I would want 2 of my main rivals for the SEC title to play each other every yr as well.

Bama is 6-1 vs Tenn and LSU is 4-3 vs. Fla in the last 7 yrs.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Bama run their record vs Tenn to like 10-1 in the next few yrs. Is your idea of a rivalry game when one team owns the other?? We had that with Tulane and I didn't see it as a rivalry...it was pretty safe win each yr but far from a rivalry game. imo

And no...I'm not saying Tenn equates to a Tulane, but I'm thinking the Vols are gonna have a long, hard hill to climb to get back what their status was at one time.

So you and Auburn need to join the East and be done with it...

I can understand your point and agree with you, actually.

But, like I said, let the compromise be that only the divisional games count in the SECCG chase.

There is a reason why LSU-Florida, Bama-Tenn, and Auburn-UGA have never met in an SECCG....
