Georgia-Auburn Alabama-Tennessee Texas-Oklahoma Ole Miss-LSU 4 of the most historic interstate rivalries in college football, gone from being yearly contests. I don't get it.

Thats what happens when things change.

I bet a lot on here dont realize that UF and Auburn played each other pretty much every single season from the 1920s until 2002. And since 2002 they have only played 4 times.

My point being that while it sucks and things change the SEC has made changes like this before. And after a decade or two majority of people forget and move on from it.

At least the 1/7 plan gets everyone in every other year.

The bigger issue with that plan is who is going to have who on each given year. And do the whole 7 swap each year?

Like for example will OM schedule look like

2025
MSU
Bama
LSU
Arky
A&M
Texas
OU
Auburn

then 2026 be
MSU
Tenn
UK
Florida
USCe
Mizzo
Vandy
UG

And it just swap between those every Odd/Even year? If so some years for certain teams they may have a better chance of making SEC champ game just because of how schedule lines up.

Not only that George but the LSU bama game has been a huge national rating aka money maker for the SEC so we are ditching that too
