SI Predicts Three Permanent Opponents For Each SEC Team If League Moves To Nine-Game Model

SCOTT CLAUSE/USA TODAY Network / USA TODAY NETWORK

With Texas and Oklahoma joining the SEC in 2024, there has been a lot of chatter that the conference will change its scheduling model to a nine-game format, where teams will play three permanent opponents and six rotating.

Sports Illustrated is predicting that in this new model, LSU's permanent opponents would be Alabama, Texas A&M, and Ole Miss.

quote:
As the SEC continues to mull over those potential schedule formats, SI’s Dellenger made a first attempt at guessing the three permanent opponents for each SEC school based on rivalries, geography and parity:

Missouri: Oklahoma, Arkansas, Vanderbilt
Arkansas: Missouri, Texas, Ole Miss
Texas A&M: LSU, Texas, Mississippi State
Texas: Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Arkansas
Oklahoma: Texas, Missouri, Florida
LSU: Ole Miss, Texas A&M, Alabama
Ole Miss: Mississippi State, LSU, Arkansas
Mississippi State: Ole Miss, Kentucky, Texas A&M
Alabama: Auburn, Tennessee, LSU
Auburn: Alabama, Georgia, Vanderbilt
Vanderbilt: Tennessee, Auburn, Missouri
Tennessee: Vanderbilt, Alabama, South Carolina
Kentucky: Mississippi State, South Carolina, Georgia
Georgia: Auburn, Florida, Kentucky
Florida: Georgia, South Carolina, Oklahoma
South Carolina: Florida, Tennessee, Kentucky

Oklahoma vs florida doesn't sound right every year

CapitolB•37 months

Exactly. Texas, Missouri and Texas A&M makes much more sense for them

Ragin Tiger1•37 months

Should make Texas and Oklahoma play Georgia and Alabama for the next few years just to make them miserable.

Georgia and LSU are the new powerhouses in the sec. Bama done

It's like Texas didn't join the SEC.

Losing the UF game suckkkss

Flashback•37 months

Texas and OU need to experience the meat grinder. Their scenario is way too easy.

RightWingTiger•37 months

Well they’re getting 6 other SEC Teams each year as well so they’ll get properly initiated to the SEC in sure!

G Khan•37 months

Losing Florida & Auburn games every year is BS. We should play Auburn, Bama, OM every year given the history. I also like playing Florida every year. It is a HUGE game every year for both schools. Rotate the rest

G Khan•37 months

Arkansas too

Solo Cam•37 months

Tennessee should play Georgia and South Carolina should play Kentucky.

Everything else looks good

Jabontik•37 months

why not just play Alabama three time every year? Everybody in America knows its the only game that really matters. Best 2 out of three

wesman21•37 months

They better not make the schedules based on parity and they shouldn't do it on historical rivalries either. Pure geographical pods or two divisions divided by MS/AL state line is the way to go.

Morpheus•37 months

It’s almost like the SEC feeds this info to the media outlets to gain the reviews of people and their thoughts.

goatmilker•37 months

Georgia: Auburn, Florida, Kentucky
