SEC announces 3 permanent opponents beginning 15-16 season - AU to face Alabama, Ole Miss & Georgia 2x every year. Full SEC sked out in Aug.

It's about as fair as you can get. Vandy got screwed but everyone else got what they should've expected. I'd rather play State every year than Ole Miss as long as AK is the coach in Oxford but in the long run it'll even out.

It's what makes sense though. If you ask Vandy fans who they want to play every year, it's those 3. Could it bite us when it comes to SECT and NCAAT seeding/inclusion? Maybe, but I like it personally. I doubt I'm alone on that front.

AU's are legit too. It seems like the SEC office did a good job matching up the rivals well.

I would have done it like this

AU: Bama, UGA, Ole Miss
Bama: AU, UT, LSU
Arky: LSU, Mizz, TAMU
LSU: Arky, Ole Miss, Bama
Ole Miss: Miss St, LSU, AU
Miss St: Ole Miss, TAMU, Mizzou
TAMU: Arky, Mizz, Miss St
Florida: UGA, UK, SCar
UGA: UF, SCar, AU
Kentucky: Vandy, UF, OT
Mizzou: Arky, TANU, Miss St
South Carolina: UGA, UF, Vandy
Tennessee: Vandy, Bama, UK
Vandy: UT, UK, SCar

No quite. They missed UT/ Bama & UT Florida.They should have made at least 1 of them permanent. I chose UT/ Bama because Bama is UT's most hated rival & UT is Bama's #2 Rival. On the other hand Tennessee's is Florida's #2 while Florida is Tennessee's #2 or #3

25 is right. It was UK. He'd been politicing for it since before this pas season. He didn't want UT twice.

I'm not sure UT/Bama has the same fervor in basketball. UT is pretty annoyed they didn't get UF, I think.
