A&M probably has OU, Arkansas and Texas if I were to bet.

Ark is in no way LSU’s main rival.

That's a tough one. I think Ole Miss and A&M are likely. I bet the third team would be either Alabama, Arkansas or Florida...in that order of likelihood.

Yep. Would be shocked if Ole Miss and A&M weren't 2 of the 3. Think it will be Bama or Florida for the 3rd.

I really do think LSU-Bama being the premier TV draw for the last 15 years makes it the most likely option. But Saban got this whole thing nixed over having to play LSU every year so who knows.

Perfect, so we made the change with no real benefit.

That is great news

Battle of the boot and who we used to play rivalry weekend every year.

Battle of the boot is a joke. That game typically generates the least amount of excitement for Tiger fans of all conference games.

Good. Going a decade without playing against some conference teams is idiotic.

Now you can hit every conference stadium in a four year cycle.

That just means teams will look to schedule the Rutgers and Wake Forests of the world.

Anyone from the SEC still scheduling elite teams will be doing themselves a disservice IMO.

They will complain that it makes them look too Big 12/SWC. They’ll only get one of Texas or OU (surely Texas) but will push for us or another original member so they can try to pass themselves off as a real SEC school.

Y’all think they will up the season ticket prices again because of this?
