re: Houston Chronicle: Texas and Oklahoma reach out to SEC about joining conference

In the proposed pod schedule, LSU would maintain its annual rivalries with Ole Miss, Miss St, and Texas A&M, while its games against Arkansas, Alabama, Auburn, and Florida would be played every other year rather than annually. In addition, LSU would get to play every other SEC Team on a semi-annual basis as well.

So, LSU would lose half of its Arkansas, Alabama, Auburn, and Florida games, but get more frequent games against Mizzou, Texas, Oklahoma, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, South Carolina, and Vanderbilt.

If they maintained the division format, eliminated cross division rivalries, and added a 9th game, LSU would likely trade annual games with Florida, Alabama, and Auburn for annual games with Mizzou, Texas, and Oklahoma. Games against East division opponents would be roughly once every 4 years.
