If nothing changes, how long from today, before LSU plays the following teams:

UGA
Mizzou
USCe
Tenn
Vandy
I read on the SEC Rant that it will be something like 15 years before we can go back to Athens? WTF, that is an absurd amount of time to go by without playing a conference opponent.

I just want a cliff notes version of what everyone is screaming about right now. Totally lost.

The SEC recently decided to keep both an 8 game conference schedule and 1 permanent cross-division rival. Resulting in a decade and half between playing some teams in the opposite division.

I'm assuming you're talking football?
UGA, Vandy, Tenn, and USCe are all on rotation for East Division opponents. As for Mizzou being new and all, I have no clue when/if we'll ever play them unless in the SECCG
and it seems like we play in Athens every 4 years. '09 and '13 being the last two games I remember.

Bama, Tenn, Auburn, Georgia and Florida fans are saying LSU whines too much.
LSU fans are saying that without a 9 game schedule, you will go a lengthy amount of time before playing certain East Teams.
Some are agreeing that a 9 game schedule should have happened, or switch Tenn to the West and send Auburn to the East so that Bama and Tenn and Auburn and Georgia can keep their sacred rivalries while everyone else rotates cross divisional opponents. Its a cluster over there.

Yeah, edited. I don't think we play Georgia for another 12-15 years, unless they keep making up bridge schedules each year, then we will probably draw Georgia every 4 years.

LSU will still play Florida every year, but every other East team only twice every 12 years (so 6 years on average). Should mean Tenn, Vandy and Mizzou coming up in 2015-2017, since they're the only ones we haven't played since expansion to 14.

Damn I feel lucky I have been able to go there twice for LSU games in the last 4 years.
Athens is the shite

Without knowing the specific order and whether you play home and away for two years before changing the rotating opponent, we will get to every venue in the SEC East (other than Florida) once every twelve years.

frick Bama and their fans. ( how's that for whining?)

Is there a rotation at all? Still bridge schedule?
Do the math. 6 division games plus Uf, and 1/6 other east teams. We'd play each team every six years alternating home and away. So, if nothing changes we'd play UGA in 6 years and @ UGa in 12.

Would it not be 12 years before we see UGA? I mean Home/Away * 6 starting with KY.
Posted on 4/28/14 at 12:31 pm to tigerfan in bamaland
Well, UGa just going from last year.

Not sure if there can be an exact rotation twice through in the same order. Taking UGA as an example: Last year we had 4 home and 3 away games with our permanent opponents (all West teams plus Florida), so UGA filled the extra away slot. In 2019, if nothing changes, we will have those same 4 home and 3 away games, so UGA couldn't come here that year, we'd have to go to another East team.
I think the rotation will cycle through every 12 years the same way (once it's set), but it won't be 6 years between playing each opponent. More likely it'll be 5 or 7 years to ensure equal home and away games.

This, Gainsville is a shite hole and in my mind a step above Starkville. My biggest complaint is that it is incredibly dumb to play a conference team every 12 years. Think about how long that is. A first grader will not see LSU play a conference opponent at their place until they graduate high school. Can nobody see a problem with this?

Just a HYPOTHETICAL example of how this might look. Only years I know for sure are 2012-2014.
2012: South Carolina
2013: @Georgia
2014: Kentucky
2015: @Vanderbilt
2016: Tennessee
2017: @Missouri
2018: Georgia
2019: @South Carolina
2020: Vanderbilt
2021: @Kentucky
2022: Missouri
2023: @Tennessee
EDIT: I found the future ACC schedules, staying at 8 games. SEC schedules will look similar: LINK

cliff notes version
The SEC member schools (keep in mind, the conference is simply the collective will of the member institutions, with all ties broken by proximity to Birmingham) decided that they want to keep raking in the home revenue from cupcakes (LSU is as guilty of this as anyone--just look at next year) rather than expand to nine conference games and have to go on the road more often. To dress it up, they passed some non-binding UN resolution (pretty sure the conference has absolutely NO control over non-conference schedules) to play a "Big Four" conference school every year (phones are already ringing off the hooks at Syracuse) which, again, is pretty much what is happening already anyway (see Wisconsin). So basically, the SEC has officially announced that the global status quo will continue for the foreseeable future.

Ahh
so its not Home/Away same opponent back to back years, its Home~ one opponent, Away~ next Opponent, etc etc.
thx
It will be 12 years between visits, but not games.

So we get to go to Gainesville every two years, but we don't get to go to Athens for another 12. Gotta protect those rivalries I guess.
