re: How To Re-Align the SEC

Would be pretty good, wish it would be mandatory for all schools to pick up a permanent P5 opponent. Unfortunately the obvious choices for AU (GA Tech, Clemson, F$U) are already taken.

Here's a shot at assigning permanent P5 opponents to those SEC schools currently without them, loosely based on the historic number of games played since 1950 (shown in parentheses):

Bama: Penn State (15)
Arky: Baylor (42)
AU: Miami (9)
LSU: Notre Dame (12)
MSU: NC State (4)
Mizzou: Kansas (62)
Ole Kiff: Houston (18)
UTee: UCLA (15)
TAMU: Nebraska (15)
Vandy: Wake Forest (16)

MSU was the most difficult to come up with a logical match, since so many of their historic P5 opponents are already claimed by other SEC schools. However, if the Big12 includes Memphis in their rumored next round of expansion, they would be a logical choice (or pair Memphis with Ole Miss and assign Houston to MSU).
