re: The SEC will announce the 2026 9 opponents for its teams this coming Tuesday

Already lost auburn and that was just as big or even better rivalry than Florida

I will go with
Oklahoma
Aggies
Rebels

Ou needs a good 2nd rival along with Texas. Ags would already have lsu and horns.

All the bigger programs need 2 games against each other
Lsu - Aggies and Sooners
Ou - horns and lsu
Aggies - horns lsu
Horns - Sooners ags
Uga - Auburn Tennessee
Tennessee- bama uga
Florida - Uga Auburn
Auburn - bama Florida
Bama - Auburn Tennessee

Ole Miss, Alabama, and Florida should be LSU’s three

OU, Miss, Arkansas

I think for LSU, it will be Ole Miss, Texas A&M, and Arkansas.

To me, what will happen is SEC will have a top tier of teams and a bottom tier or teams.

Top tier - Bama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, LSU, Ole Miss, Tennessee, Texas A&M, OU, Texas.

Bottom tier - Arkansas, Kentucky, Miss state, Mizzou, South Carolina, Vandy.

SEC will ensure every top tier plays two other top tier and one bottom tier.

So my prediction:

If we get stuck with A&M I’m raging

LSU will have Ole Miss and Texas A&M. Take that to the bank.

The third "annual" opponent will be either Arkansas, Florida, or Oklahoma.

For everyone saying it’s “not” Bama… name the “top 10” SEC matchups for TV.

While true, 95% of that was the fact that most years that game was gonna decide the SEC West AND the Nick Saban connection. I think without Saban and without divisions the TV numbers will slowly die down on this matchup. It'll still be big, but not earth shaking big like it has been.

I want Ole Miss Florida Auburn

Bama probably gets MSU to go along with AU and UT. Proximity of the campuses and they’ve played forever

Well SEC is doing custom permanent opponents, not 4 team pods....
