re: Predict the 3 annual rivals

Bama, Ole Miss, Arkansas

No way they miss out on the revenue that LSU v Bama brings in every year

Alabama, Ole Miss and Arkansas

LSU-ole miss, miss st, bama
Bama-Tenn, Aub , LSU
Ole Miss- LSU, Vandy, State
Miss St- OM, LSU, Aub
Tex- OU, A&M, Ark
OU- Tex, A&M, Mizzou
Ark-mizzou, Tex, A&M
Georgia-Aub, Fla, Tenn
Fla-Georgia, Ken, SC
Tenn-bama, Georgia, Vandy
Aub-Bama, Georgia, miss St
A&M-ark, Tex, OU

Some of those make too much sense so I’m probably way off

know I am in the minority but I think they should just do a rotating schedule with no annual rivalries.

I don't think you're in the minority among LSU fans. It's other teams that have "traditional" rivalries they want to preserve, and that forces us to all also have these dedicated yearly opponents. I would happily give up playing Ole Miss every year in order to get some more variety in the schedule.

LSU fans are such pussies.

Lmao what

Looking like A&M, Ole Miss, and bama.

Wouldn’t mind seeing an OU, Arky, and Ms State pairing.

I'll bet it's Ole Miss, Arkansas, and A&M.

That is my prediction also.

I have Alabama with Tennessee, Auburn, and one of the MS schools (Ole Miss or Miss State). If Auburn were to come back, playing Tennessee, LSU, and Auburn would be damn tough on the Gumps.

I've seen this brought up in the past, and I wonder if the SEC will take it into consideration. Where they basically separate the top 8 programs from the bottom 8 programs, the top 8's permanent 3 will consist of 2 from the top group and 1 from the bottom, and flipped for the bottom 8 where they play 2 from the bottom group and 1 from the top

If that is indeed the case, the top 8 are the Big 6 and Texas/OU. Objectively speaking they are the best 8, all of them have won at least 1 natty since the BCS era while there are none in the bottom 8.

So trying to figure out which 2 of the top 8 to distribute amongst the top 8 teams:

Bama - Auburn, Tenn
Auburn - Bama, UGA
UGA - Auburn, Fla

Those are pretty clear cut and locked out in this scenario. Which leaves the last 5 teams

LSU - ?, ?
Fla - UGA, ?
Tenn - Bama, ?
Texas - OU, ?
OU - Texas, ?

I think the big question is whether Florida's final spot goes to Tenn or LSU. I think it would go to LSU since if you give Tenn that spot then that leaves LSU with both OU and Texas and I think they'd rather not saddle a founding member with both newcomers. Kinda sucks because Fla/Tenn used to be one of the biggest games of the year in the conference every year, but LSU/Florida has a lot of history and great matchups themselves so not too hard of a choice to make imo. They've tested the water with LSU/OU these couples of years, possibly hinting that might be one of the perms, while Texas and Tenn get to have a battle of the orange UT teams every year

Bama - Auburn, Tenn
Auburn - Bama, UGA
UGA - Auburn, Fla
LSU - Fla, OU
Fla - UGA, LSU
Tenn - Bama, Texas
Texas - OU, Tenn
OU - Texas, LSU

Then we get to the bottom 8, and Ole Miss will go to us I would assume. Which would leave LSU with a 3 permanent setup with Florida, Oklahoma, and Ole Miss.

The rest of the top 8 to fill, Vandy goes to Tenn, Aggies go to Texas, Mizzou goes to OU, Arkansas to Auburn, Miss St to Bama, SCar to UGA, and Kentucky to Fla
