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

If you think the SEC gives a frog fart about anything that Texas A&M wants, I have a bridge in College Station to sell you.

The SEC, unlike the old Big12 is not run by one team like you Horns were able to do. There is a voting system in place and the league works with its partners (teams).

If LSU forms a lobby with Arkansas, OU and MIZZOU and lets say Texas A&M to leverage those 5 votes with the SEC, Texas and their 1 vote is not going to sway anything. This is not the old Big12 where Texas can threaten to take their ball on go home.

That last weekend will have SEC/ACC Rival or SEC/SEC games/rival games played.

Florida/FSU
UK/Louisville
UGA/GA. Tech
SCAR/Clemson

Bama/Auburn
TENN/Vandy
Miss. State/Ole Miss

So the above games account for 10 of the now 16 teams.

That leaves, LSU, Arkansas, MIZZOU, OU, Texas and Texas A&M

The most logical way this works for everyone is:

Arkansas/Texas
MIZZOU/OU
LSU/Texas A&M.

Everyone is playing a Power 5 team that last weekend, either in conference SEC or vs. an ACC Team, before the SEC title game in Atlanta.
