re: Slive... 2014 and 2015 to be a 6-1-1 format

What's all this tradition I'm missing with UA-UT? It feels so forced. In what ways is it a natural rivalry? I can understand UGA-UA from a historical standpoint but even then it's not like it's more intense than any other big 6 SEC game. It's been stated before that LSU-UF is an outstanding matchup, but it is not a "rivalry."

The intensity of that rivalry (UT-UA) could easily be reproduced with a high stakes game at Georgia or Florida or USC.

There are too many great programs in the East to worry about preserving some forced rivalry.
