Nebraska/OU stopped playing each other annually and the world didn't end.

But a great rivalry did; Oklahoma's decision to play in the Big XII South and cease the annual OU/NU game sucked the wind out of the series (playing twice in four years just isn't the same thing) and now all that's left is occasional home-and-homes.

It'd be cool if the SEC didn't run with a schedule that actively undermines existing rivalries, and Oklahoma-Nebraska is a great case study for ADs who think it won't have much of an impact.
