there will really only be 6 SEC teams left without an opponent already decided for rivalry week.


Florida vs Florida State
Kentucky vs Louisville
Georgia vs GA Tech
South Carolina vs Clemson
Ole Miss vs Miss State
Bama vs Auburn
Tennessee vs Vandy

Leaves us with Arkansas, LSU, OU, Missouri, Texas, and Texas A&M

Y’all are delusional if y’all don’t see the obvious choice

Really wish we would play Tulane this weekend.


The problem with that has been the physical and mental attrition of playing Bama the first week of November and following that up with two consecutive, normally very competitive SEC games. For a team short on depth, that plays hell on finishing strong as opposed to having those two games split up by the rent a win like last weekend.

Now, going into next year, it might be a mute point as who knows if we keep Bama in that spot or not. I would still rather have the rent a win the second to last game rather than the last game. That's if you safely assume Tulane will be returning to rent a win status soon.

It’s really a win-win. If we are good enough then we’ll beat them and have a rent a win before SECCG. If for some reason they are good then it’ll be a good game that’s people watch-I’m thinking Friday night game.
Would also like to play Ole Miss the last Saturday in November and then Bama. Would like a bye after Bama to avoid Bama hangover.

Oklahoma vs Missouri is a pretty old rivalry too. Haven’t played for the “Tiger-Sooner Peace pipe” since 2011


Definitely not a legit rivalry. Ask any sooner or mizzou fan. Sure mizzou hates them but who doesn’t?

The SEC will want that LSU OU matchup on this weekend rather than a random Saturday in October when the slate is already loaded.


Ask yourself. Which combination of these four teams moves the needle the most? It’s absolutely OU vs LSU

Yep. Such a buzzkill playing against A&M this week


The only thing I like about playing A@M is that I work with a bunch of A@M grads and it makes for great banter. Other than that, I couldn’t care less
