I don't get why LSU and UF have to play each other, or why that is any one else's fault. Can't they both just pick new perm opponents?
Or better yet. Let the teams that want to be permanent opponents (UGA/AU and Tennessee/Alabama) play every year and let everybody else rotate. But I'm sure Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Kentucky, and Vandy would be against that. So that is unlikely to happen too.

No, they can't (UF-LSU) just pick new opponents.
The league did a great job in 1992 of preserving rivalries & being fair to all parties. The top 6 were pittted against one another, Tenn. vs. Bama, AU vs. UGA and UF vs. LSU and the bottom 6 historicaly was pitted in permanent matchup, year in and year out the top 6 have no advantage over each other over the long time, occasionally some teams get a marginally tougher schedule, but that is because of the rotation games instead of the permanent games.
The bottom 6 love the weaker permanent games because with 3 or 4 wins out of conference they now have a better shot to go 6-6 or 7-5 and make a bowl, which is why they will always vote en bloc with Tenn., Bama, AU, and UGA.
CASE CLOSED.
Bama - Tenn. top 2 winningest programs by far in 1992. UGA, AU, UF & LSU pretty much the same now, but in 1992 UF & LSU was probably behind AU & UGA.
