re: If we don’t get Oklahoma as permanent, who will we play at the end of the year every year?

In theory, pairing up the two Big 8 schools and bringing back the Black Friday Battle for the Boot would make the most sense.

In practice, I wouldn’t be surprised if they stick with the Ark-Mizz forced meme, which means LSU-OU.

One underrated option that probably won’t happen is Tex-Ark, A&M-LSU, OU-Mizz. I think they want Tex-A&M for Thanksgiving too much though.

Missouri should play Oklahoma and LSU play Arkansas to end the season.

Missouri Arkansas is not a rivalry its way forced. At least LSU Arkansas has some decent history dating back to the 90s.

Oklahoma Missouri isn’t a great rivalry by any means but they do go way back to the Big8 days. Missouri definitely hates Oklahoma big time. But it’s not likewise with the Sooners toward them.

A&M. Okla might very well take over Alabama's position in the SEC. I don't want more of that.

I ultimately could not care less so long as it's not ANM.
