I don't really care who LSU gets

that puts you in the minority of LSU fans

MOST LSU folks will want to keep Ole Miss & this is probably also true of aTm (likely a lower percentage will care about this vs the Ole Miss game)

here are games that will guaranteed be kept (added) in a 3 rival system (Georgia's 3 rival games are already set in stone in this system)

Alabama vs Tennessee
Alabama vs Auburn
UGA vs Auburn
UGA vs Florida
UGA vs So Carolina
Texas vs Texas A&M
LSU vs Ole Miss
Ole Miss vs MS State
Texas vs Oklahoma

Here are the games that are likely to be kept, but are maybe not "untouchable"

LSU vs Texas A&M
Tennessee vs Kentucky
Tennessee vs Vandy
Auburn vs Florida
Ole Miss vs Vandy
Arkansas vs Texas
Alabama vs MS State

the way the SEC works, with each school being treated as an "equal partner"; I am confident that every school would be given the opportunity to demand at least one "critical" game that is a "must keep"; which leads me to believe that the Kentucky vs Tennessee game is probably also a lock and maybe should be in group 1

am I missing any games here that are likely locks?

I really have zero clue about who Mizzou would consider as a "critical/must keep" rival game in conference...
