re: [Dellenger] From speaking to league insiders, this is our best guess of the three rivals

Here's my IDGAF if it's unbalanced proposal with an emphasis on traditional rivalries and proximity except for screw Bama-State because Dixieland Delight says so.

Mizzou: Arkansas, Oklahoma, State
Arkansas: Mizzou, Ole Miss, Texas
A&M: LSU, Texas, Oklahoma
Texas: Oklahoma, A&M, Arkansas
Oklahoma: Texas, Mizzou, A&M
LSU: A&M, Bama, Ole Miss
Ole Miss: State, Arkansas, LSU
State: Ole Miss, Vandy, Mizzou
Bama: Auburn, LSU, Tennessee
Auburn: Bama, UGA, Florida
Vandy: Tennessee, State, Kentucky
Tennessee: Vandy, Kentucky, Bama
Kentucky: Carolina, Tennessee, Vandy
UGA: Florida, Auburn, Carolina
Florida: UGA, Carolina, Auburn
Carolina: Kentucky, Florida, UGA

The only non-adjacent state games in my list are LSU-Bama, Carolina-Kentucky and Mizzou-State. Beats the hell out of Florida-Oklahoma. And with the 3-6 schedule you get to play every school at least every other year anyway. 12 game playoff combined with strength of schedule means one or two losses is no longer the end of the world. It's the new world. Losing traditional games every year sucks but having more chances to get in the CFP is freaking awesome.
