I'm puzzled by your confusion unless I missed a typo. Bama, LSU, A&M finishing 5-1 within the SEC West is a very plausible outcome (as happened last year). The tie breaker comes down to who played what teams from the East.
The loser this year on that basis would much more likely be LSU than either A&M or Bama (given LSU drew Florida and UGA and neither Bama nor A&M is expected to play a decent team from the East).

If Lsu concedes Fla as a defeat already, perhaps they should focus more on West opponents. Then it wouldn't matter losing to Fla.

I thought your thread was about what Slive said, yet almost every post of yours is about LSU

Replying to Lsu posters, and what they're asking, saying. Reading comprehension is not difficult.

They sound fearful to play FLA to me.
Les has been a head coach a lot longer than Muschamp, Les has more talent and he's had his program running at a elite level for years now. Why some of his fanbase concedes defeat to a 3rd yr head coach is beyond me?

Bama-UT doesn't come close to the rivalries you mentioned. It doesn't even register on the radar when discussing rivalries on a national scale. Even AU-UGA has more significance because at least it has historical significance.
I'm not sure it's even Top 5 in terms of SEC rivalries.
What makes Georgia/Auburn better than Tennessee/Alabama? Also, what are the 5 SEC rivalries better than it?

LSU and Florida have split the series over the last decade. I love the Florida game. Those things are different issues from talking about competitive balance.
If just want to troll LSU fans go to the rant proper where they will ban you more rapidly. If you want to talk about scheduling equity then have at it.

Exactly. Owned.

This whole discussion about permanent rivalries is somewhat pointless to me. Every school views it differently. Every one is worried about what's fair or not fair, competitive balance, etc. But the nature of college football is that teams are gonna have up years and down years, so there's no way to schedule based on how good historically a team may be or is going to be. If Ala/Tenn wanna keep that permanent game, then I respect that, but there's no reason to force a permanent opponent on teams that don't have that historical rivalry.

Is there something wrong with your reading comprehension skills? What part of "Rivalries are games that matter to the teams & fanbases of the teams involved, not some whiney arse fanbase of a team that has no clue what a true rivalry is" do you not understand?

It has the distinction as the Deep South's Oldest Rivalry. That is historically significant.
I would put the Iron Bowl, TWLOCP, UT-UF, TDSOR, and the Egg Bowl ahead of it in terms of SEC only and then USC-Clemson, UF-FSU, UF-Miami, CGOFH, ahead of it in terms of SEC OOC in state rivalries.
Honestly, UT-Bama is just another nice SEC game. There are lots of them every single year.

I don't think so. It's not as relevant right now because Tenn is in a down cycle. We don't really hear much from Tenn fans about this, but my guess is that when Tenn turns it around and beats bama one year, they'll be all over the rant.

Point is, the SEC is full of rivalries. We don't need them forced upon us. UT-Bama is an intense game between those two teams and fanbases. The next year it would be UF-Bama, UGA-Bama, USC-Bama, etc.
But it doesn't classify as a huge national rivalry by any stretch.

Iron Bowl: I agree.
TWLOCP: I know it is more recognized nationally, but let's face it. That rivalry is far more about the neutral site atmosphere than anything else.
UT-UF: No.
TDSOR: I strongly disagree. This game is a distant second for Auburn and probably the third most important for Georgia.
Egg Bowl: I suppose it's a more hateful version of the battle for the old oaken bucket.
USC-Clemson:
And people say the Alabama/Tennessee rivalry is lopsided. Unless you put way more stock into sharing state borders than everything else, I don't see it at all. UF-FSU: I agree
UF-Miami: Please. Florida pretty much refused to play Miami while the U was good. Including this is just silly.
CGOFH: Like with the earlier game, the only advantage it may have is that it's an in state rivalry.

Why would

be in favor of ending permenant crossdivision opponents?
