Yet, Alabama and Tennessee act like their game is some historic crisis if it isn't every year.

And just 10 years ago, Kansas/Mizzou were ranked #2 and #3 when they met.

It is Alabama's second most played series at 99. One behind Mississippi State.

Well...Arkansas has been in the SEC for 25 years now...had they remained in the Big 12 they probably would have been in the Big 12 South with Texas, so they would be over 100 games with them.

sure, but i just assumed they still had one school where they pushed 90 games just because theyve played football for such a long time. when the SWC fell apart, a&m had played baylor over 90 times and texas over 100 times. i just assumed arky had something similar

LSU and Ole Miss--who helped form the old SWC but then didn't end up joining it--continued to play SWC teams regularly, well until the mid-1980s when the SEC mandated that a seventh conference game be played. When the SEC expanded and added an eighth conference game in the '90s, the annual Arkansas-Ole Miss was able to be absorbed into league play, but the A&M-LSU game got permanently dropped.

Arky has some history with ole miss
Arky and LSU had the first named rivalry game in the region ("State Fair Classic," held annually in Shreveport).

What are the expansion team's most played SEC team? I'm sure Ark is A&M and A&M is Ark, but who the hell is MU & USC's?
We've played UGA the most, for us, in the SEC. Played UGA more times than quite a few charter members of the SEC. 65 games I think.

Texas was our first out of state game in 1894 but then we didn't play them again until 1903. We also had another 10 year break between 1919 and 1928. Those two gaps kept us from pushing 90 against them.
We also have two similar 7-10 year gaps against Baylor and Texas A&M in that same timeframe.
It looks like we played LSU, Okie State and some games against Ole Miss instead of Texas, Baylor and A&M in the 20's which attributed to that gap.
The earlier one in the late 1890's and early 1900's was us playing regional schools instead of Texas schools. Wichita State, Missouri State, Drury, etc.

Using an old Danny Ford triple negative:
The barn and UGA ain't never not played.
They have played every year in which both fielded a football team ever since both started playing football.

no in-state rival to play every year and switched conferences in 1992.
For instance, had LSU left the SEC 25 years ago and quit playing SEC schools OOC, then you'd be looking at their series with State having played only 84 games

Aggies have a lot of history with Arky.

Turn back the clock to 1904 & we can settle it.

Series history
The two universities do not agree on when the rivalry began. The University of Georgia's athletic department counts a 1904 match its football squad played against a team from a school known as the University of Florida.[1] The game was held in Macon, Georgia, and Georgia won 52–0.[1] However, this was not the modern University of Florida in Gainesville, but one of its four predecessor institutions: a school previously known as Florida Agricultural College, based in Lake City.[2] Florida's University Athletic Association does not include this game in the series record,[3] as it occurred before the modern university was established by the Florida Legislature in 1905,[4] and before the new entity fielded its first officially-recognized football team in 1906.[3] UGA sports historian Dan Magill sums up Georgia's attitude: "That's where Florida was back then. We can't help it if they got run out of [Lake City]."[5]

It's 94 and Auburn would have been 95 if we didn't have to end the annual series back in the 90s.
I am wrong after research it ended with Auburn in 2002.

I know my UT history pretty well but would missed this one.
If you had asked I would have said Vanderbilt.
