I don’t like the projected scheduling.

Vanderbilt, Kentucky and Tennessee should be permanent opponents. But I am seeing some formats with neither Vandy or Tennessee playing an annual game with Kentucky. I know the argument, but screw it.

Heck, we’ll get screwed again I’m sure. During the fricking COVID year when it was all sec schedules and we were coming off of 2 winless sec seasons and we had a new first year head coach they give us Georgia and Florida.
I don’t give a rat’s arse who we play anymore.

Agreed. We go to the 3+6 model Vandy and Tennessee absolutely need to be two of our three. Too much history with the three of us.

With the 3-6-6, if you don't play someone every year, you will play them every other year. Calm down sport.

Lil 8 vandy fans upset about scheduling, while for decades, the big 6 had to play their cross Div rival every year as a permanent.
Sit down.
There’s very little appreciation for what the big6 did for your conference.
They toted the mail and made the cash split evenly by 12. Then we added schools that either refused to play their former rivals in bowls or plain and SIMP, just refused to play bowls altogether…..still got their hands out for revenue while bragging about being rich.
Talk about a welfare state.

As a Tennessee fan, I want UT's permanent opponents to be Vandy, Kentucky and Alabama. Tennessee has played each of these 3 opponents over 100 times throughout their history (UK 118, Vandy 117, Bama 105). The next highest is Ole Miss (66 games).
Florida and Georgia were "rivalries" contrived after division play was dreamed up. After 30 years of division play, UT has still barely played those two "rivals" more than they have played Georgia Tech who left the conference 6 decades ago.

They aren't going to put 3 mediocre teams together.

I really don’t want to get stuck with Vanderbilt and Kentucky.

Dunno how I feel about it.
LSU/OM/MSU is a series with 100+ games each as well. Hard to break up.
But I’d hate to say LSU/TAMU (a regional game) or LSU/Bama (the historically occurring one).
I’d honestly say maybe it needs to go to 4 or 5.

Much like the Vandy board, no one cares. There are threads from 2019 on the first page of your board.

easy solution if it is that important to you
Schedule the teams that you don’t play each year OOC in the years they aren’t on your schedule.
If you don’t like that idea, then the game isn’t as important as you say that it is..
I suspect the problem with this idea is getting Kentucky to agree to it when they already have Louisville on the schedule each year.
Bottom line: there is an avenue to play the game if it is important to both teams

And why are you still in the SEC? You are the proverbial patsy to whoever gets the privilege to load up on Vandy every year.

What’s the projected scheduling?
Posted on 5/2/23 at 9:22 am to morriscat2
For SC I hope it's the following:
UGA/Florida/Kentucky or Vandy
UGA/Florida/Kentucky or Vandy

I haven't seen anything official on this, from what I understood, we haven't even figured out if it's going to be an eight or nine game conference schedule. I think the consensus is (rightfully) that a 3+6 format makes the most sense.
I've attempted this several times, there is no perfect way to do three permanent rivals, but here's what I currently have (first opponent is rivalry week):
Mizzou: Oklahoma, Arkansas, Vanderbilt
Arkansas: LSU, Mizzou, Texas
Oklahoma Mizzou, Texas, Texas A&M
Texas: A&M, Oklahoma, Arkansas
Texas A&M: Texas, Miss St, Oklahoma
LSU: Arkansas, Ole Miss, Florida
Ole Miss: Miss St, LSU, Auburn
Miss St: Ole Miss, A&M, Alabama
Alabama: Auburn, Tennessee, Miss St
Auburn: Alabama, Georgia, Ole Miss
Vanderbilt: Tennessee, Kentucky, Mizzou
Tennessee: Vanderbilt, Alabama, Kentucky
Kentucky: SCAR, Vanderbilt, Tennessee
SCAR: Kentucky, Florida, Georgia
Georgia: Florida, Auburn, SCAR
Florida: Georgia, SCAR, LSU
I've posted this before, but I came up with this for a 20-team SEC with a 4-5 schedule, and I think it actually works better than a 3-6 16-team schedule:
