I just hope we don’t have to give up the Alabama and Florida games. It really needs to be nine games.
I want Auburn back. Rivalry or not great hard-hittung games were the norm.

Our permanent opponents should be Arky, Ole Miss and Florida

I believe we will go to 9 bc that’s the only way the other conferences mainly the big 10 will agree to expand the playoffs.
I think the exact opposite. I do not believe we will go to 9 as most the SEC is perfectly content with the 12 team format now. And nobody wants Big 10's cowardly AQs as SEC would've gotten in 6 last year. Why accept 4 when you can get 6. ACC/Big 12 do not like 2 AQs either. The absolute only conference that wants the 4 4 2 2 1 is solely the Big 10 because they are cowards and don't believe they can get 4 in every year in 5+11 based on own merits.

Ole Miss, Alabama and Texas A&M previously have been mentioned as LSU's 3. I'm good with Ole Miss and Alabama. Would prefer Moo State for the third, but that would be too easy for LSU.
I don't give a rat's arse about playing Texas A&M, Florida or Arkansas annually.But if I had to choose among those three for the third, I'd prefer Florida.
A&M and Arkansas are contrived "rivalries" that mean more to them than to us.

0% it’ll be Bama. If we are Bamas then that means they’ll have Tennessee, Auburn and us. No way the SEC offices screw then like that. They’ll have Tennessee, Auburn and Mississippi State

Or what?
But I suspect it will be.

My ideal schedule format (would never happen because you’d have to blow up rivalry weekend during thanksgiving).
4 pods of 4 teams.
-play your own pod every year, permanent opponents
-play one other full pod every year on rotation
-play the team in the 3rd pod that finished in the same part of the standings you did the previous year
-thanksgiving weekend, the pod you haven’t played goes 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, and 4v4. The 1v1 becomes a playoff to the SECCG. It’s predetermined and rotated which 2 pods would host the other 2 so that fans knew in advance if they had a home or away game to plan for.
This gives everyone 3 permanent opponents, 9 games, and you never go more than 3 years between playing each team.

That depends on what our 'scheduling guru' Verge Ausberry 'negotiated' with Clemson. What we do know is that he completely screwed up on the UCLA/FSU contracts and should be LEFT OUT of ALL future game contracts ! Can't believe his 'superiors' let him botch so many other negotiations ! He's apparently 'untouchable' as an LSU admin. ?

SEC network usually has a schedule release show in December.
Very interested what they come up with. I'd imagine we will end up losing the Texas A&M, Ole Miss, Arkansas, or Alabama game, if not multiple of those.

Sanky spoke about this at media days. He pretty much said adding one more games adds 1 more loss to half of your teams. Some programs don’t really want that.

Tell your former student the SEC should go to 9 games with a 4/4/1 format.
4 home games, 4 road games, 1 neutral site game with 50/50 ticket split like Fla/Ga & Tex/OU.
That way no teams get an SEC home field advantage every other year with 5 home games & none have to play 5 road games every other season.
Plenty of venues around the conference footprint to play the neutral site games in.
Eliminates 1 of the rent-a-win games every year that many of us don’t want to watch.

After that is decided, then we get to figure out exactly how to schedule.
It's BS not having Auburn and State on the schedule every season. Put them back on with Bama, Astroglide & Mechanical, R-Kansas and Mizzou, then rotate in the old SEC East teams and Texas/Oklahoma .
I hope they go to 9 SEC games, so we'll get one more decent game on the schedule. (Then DAVA will only have to find 1 decent "Major" OOC game and 2 cup cakes)

No. We need to stay at 8. Can you imagine playing 5 sec road games?
Posted on 8/17/25 at 4:27 pm to GeorgeWest
The sec will vote on this within the next 4 weeks - it’s the playoff format that will be voted on in December

Think they have to go to 9 in order to get more autobids to CFP, Big10 is already at 9, just my opinion
Posted on 8/17/25 at 6:43 pm to grich31
I like the idea of if going to 9, doing one at a neutral site. It’d have to be one of the permanent ones. Like Texas/OU and Florida/UGA

Agree & 4/4/1 format would prevent 5 road games.
