UTa and Oklahoma will still play the Red River Rivalry.
Bama and Tennessee will still have their 3rd Weekend in October.
So there may, and probably will-be, rivalry games played before Thanksgiving Weekend. There are plenty of rivalry games, already set in stone (as the OP has listed), to cover the conferences' TV inventory demands for Thanksgiving Weekend (including the Friday after Thanksgiving).
Trying to contrive anymore is unnecessary.
Texas A&M vs UTa would probably-be the one exception that could-be scheduled for that weekend.
I'm not sure a deal isn't going-to-be done that allows Oklahoma and Oklahoma State to play their game that weekend ... and, IMHO, that game/rivalry should be preserved. If T. Boone Pickens were still alive it would be. Ok state politicians would insure that it is still played if Pickens were still alive.
