re: Would you prefer to play Florida every year if you had the choice?

I would love the game to continue in many ways. It's become a decent rivalry, particularly in the past 10 years.

I hate the competitive advantage it gives other West opponents.
It may take years for Tennessee to truly become a challenge to Bama.

Living in Jacksonville probably skews my opinion. I like the friendly smack talk around game time but Gators are, by their very nature, arrogant and contemptuous fans.

It doesn't matter, the SEC won't change the "permanent opponent" crap any time soon, if ever.
