Don't understand why several people have OU with LSU. That is a bad combination in my opinion although I will say that OU is probably the worst fit of any team in the SEC. Really, the only team IMO that OU associates with in the SEC is of course Texas. I don't even remember OU vs Ark or OU vs Mizzou or OU vs A&M being that memorable. So really who fits in with OU?

We won't get Alabama.

We know for certain that Alabama will get Tennessee and Auburn. I don't think they stick them with LSU as well. Alabama may get State as a 3rd.

We will definitely get Arkansas and Ole Miss. only question is if the third is Florida or A&M.

I think Florida will get Tennessee and Georgia, so Idk if they stick them with Tennessee, Georgia, LSU.

We kinda benefit here with not having a true rival

It will be Alabama, Ole Miss and Texas A&M.
I am for eliminating the permanent opponents all together. That would be the fairest way of determining a true champion and the rivals would play each other often enough anyway. Unless of course we could draw Vandy, Kentucky and Mississippi State every year.

Don’t get it unless you’re living in the late 50’s early 60’s. I can think of four or five other teams that would do the trick

Agree. He got what he wanted, but I have to disagree a bit in that balanced schedules should be a massive deal. Will they make balance the number one priority? I don’t know but they should

I have an easy solution to the last game of the season that doesn't involve a forced rivalry with OU: bring back the Tiger Rag, and let us play traditional SEC schools as our permanent opponents.

There is more to the Arky - Texas and Arky - A&M rivalries than people think. Goes back to the Daryl Royal days and now Jerry Jones. Lots of televisions in the state of Texas…

Many are saying “they’d never stick Bama with three tough opponents!” but remember that with the playoff system, even a 3-loss Bama squeaks in most years.

The remaining two will come from Alabama, Arkansas, A&M, Florida.


The SEC wants LSU and Bama to play every year so Ole Miss and Bama are the locks. The third is up for grabs but the Aggies are the most likely.

It's gotta be Ole Miss, Bama, and Florida. We've played these three teams every year since the beginning of time and they're classic rivals.

I don’t get it either, the Saban lore isn’t there anymore. I get that it’s a huge ratings game, but the additional 5m dollars kind of offsets that concern. Most Bama fans want State instead of us as their third anyways.
