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.

Oh I think most of us in this thread realize that and hated losing that as well. Same with Auburn/Tennessee for that matter.
But we've already wittled away 3rd and 4th level rivalries, which sucks but is what it is. We're talking about rivalries that these programs are built around. Georgia/Auburn is probably the most incestrial rivalry (no pun intended) in college football. Alabama/Tennessee was the game for Alabama people for 70 years.
These games are the fabric of southern football and we're gonna rip them up so Texas can play in Athens 3 times every 9 years instead of 3 times every 12 years.
It really sucks.

There is no way on Earth you are comparing the DSOR, TSIO and the WLOCP to Fla vs Aub

Yes and we have the opportunity to renew that game and the L8 are trying to piss it away
