re: SEC scheduling question

Because we are one conference, not a conference with two separate sets of teams (Bama, Tenn, AU, UGA)and the rest.
The whole football scheduling mess is the reason I was so opposed to conference expansion (not to mention what it does to scheduling/tournament structure in other sports). 12 was such an ideal number.
BTW, I'm just curious, can anyone answer this question for me. What was the scheduling rotation in the years just prior to the expansion to 12 teams. We played 7 Conference games a year right, what teams were permanent opponents and how did the non permanent teams rotate?

It seemed like we had sort of a defacto situation, whereby Ole Miss, Miss St., Bama, and Florida were our "permanent" SEC opponents, and we sort of rotated other teams in and out (we almost always played Kentucky, for some reason, though).
Interestingly, during that era, we virtually never played Auburn and only rarely Georgia -- hence we never faced Herschel Walker or Bo Jackson.
I don't know if there was any sort of "official" edict on this, though? Was there?
ETA, But we would usually only play 6 SEC games a year, then.

In the old days you had 7 games; 5 permanent and 2 revoloving. LSU permanants were Old Piss, Cowbell State, Gump U, Gaytors and Can'tucky. We still rarely played UT, UGA, Auburn, and Vandy.
