Hypothetical neutral site yearly SEC game with 9 game schedule

Unrealistic idea that won’t happen but would be fun to debate and discuss:
If we could pick a permanent opponent to play every year in a neutral site, who would you pick and where would it be played?
I think it’s pretty clear with the expansion that we’re going to a 9 game schedule. Something about having more road SEC games than home games every other year bothers me because that could really screw us. I think it would be interesting if every school did 4 home, 4 road, and 1 neutral every year like UGA/FLA or ARK/aTm does now.
I’m thinking maybe playing Georgia in Mobile because it would be a good rivalry and roughly equally distant and both fan bases can drive there. Maybe USCe in Birmingham. I would say OU in Shreveport or UT in Houston but I wouldn’t wanna lose the road trip to Norman or Austin.
Thoughts? Or you can just tell me how dumb this idea is if you so choose.
ETA: I did no advance research into available stadiums and their sizes or any other logistics.

Well OU nor texas will be neutral in that case because they will play each other in Dallas. Haven’t A&M and Arkansas been playing in Dallas lately? Could be wrong. Florida and Georgia play in Jacksonville. So I don’t know who we could play.
I’m more worried about losing A&M on thanksgiving. Really don’t want play Arkansas at the end or Oklahoma in Norman in late November.

Play State in Las Vegas every year.
Trade Starkvegas for real Vegas.

Nobody should have to play in Mobile.
Ever.
Shreveport is even better than Mobile.

None of them. Neutral site games with SEC schools makes no sense. The Cocktail Party has always seemed lame to me, and it's just a matter of time before it disappears, just like the Iron Bowl in Birmingham. The Red River thing at least has the backdrop of the Texas State Fair, but a "huge" game played at 11:00 A.M. doesn't seem so huge.

The SEC will have it locked in at the 230 time slot in their first season. Both sides have stated they do not want it at night due to the cotton bowl being in a sketchy area.

Ole Miss, Dome. The two schools in Nola for the weekend would be a good time.
