Get rid of the Faggies and pick UF or Arky. 8&4 should go back to the big 12. No one likes them or their weird arse fan base.

Ole miss
Miss st
Tame

I'd rather rotate the " tougher" teams instead of having UF, Bama as permanent + 3 or 4 tough teams

Have some wiggle room

I'll die on this hill. Arkansas should be our 3rd permanent and we should play them in the last game.

OU should play Okie St
Mizzou/Kansas
Texas/A&M
LSU/Arky

Makes the most sense for everyone, which is why it'll never happen

And Vandy because they want a 99.99% guaranteed win.

It will happen because it solves so many problems for the SEC head office. I've tried to explain that to people here, but they don't want to hear it. They think our "preference" is all that matters.

Ole Miss and Arkansas are locks to be 2 of the 3 permanent opponents, with the Arky game moved to the final game of the regular season. I would bet thousands of dollars on it.

The 3rd will most likely be A&M or Bama, but I'm really not sure.

I took a stab at this...if I put a team A down for team B, I had to put B down for A...

Alabama: Auburn, Tennessee, LSU
Arkansas: Texas A&M, Texas, Missouri
Auburn: Alabama, Georgia
Florida: Georgia, Tennessee
Georgia: Florida, Auburn
Kentucky:
LSU: Ole Miss, Texas A&M, Alabama
Miss State: Ole Miss
Missouri: Arkansas
Ole Miss: LSU, Miss State
Oklahoma: Texas
South Carolina:
Tennessee: Alabama, Vanderbilt, Florida
Texas: Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Arkansas
Texas A&M: Texas, Arkansas, LSU
Vanderbilt: Tennessee

I am just not sure how to finish it out...

As a DiNardo era student, all 5 years, I overvalue the Auburn series of that time. Our generation undervalued Ole Miss. I'll throw in Florida for the closeness of the series since Spurrier left. Those are my 3.

I love how much we dominated Miss St over the last 30 years or so, and hate to see that one go.

Bama knows that without Saban, they are much weaker and playing LSU every year is a huge disadvantage.

Florida should be permanent. Broadhead made that clear, amd it was signed off in the late 70s early 80s . A deal is a deal. F aTm .

Bama and Ole Miss are no brainers

UF would be vastly better than A&M

I’d rather Auburn, Arkansas or Miss St over A&M

Yes, anything less than geographical is bullshite and someone will get screwed, maybe not us, but someone will.

Gotta let those old traditions die since they're already on the way out.

I still like the idea of an East/West division with the MS/AL stateline being the divider.

We would play the other 7 west teams every year and rotate 2 east teams.

Tex, TAM, OU, Mizzou, Arky, OM, MsSt and LSU.

Fla, Uga, Bama, Aub, KY, Vandy, Tenn and SoCar.

Seems evenly split to me.
