LSU is my favorite road trip in the SEC, but our rivalry has been crazy to say the least.
Auburn at night is just as crazy as LSU, the difference is LSU gets more night games. Ole Miss is nice, no hate. Do not waste your time on Mizzou, worse environment I have ever been to. Vandy puts them to shame.

Okie here thats excited to be with yall now. In the Sooners first year they'll travel to Auburn, Lsu, Missouri, Ole Miss.
I want to attend at least one of these. Any suggestions on which ones I should prioritize?
I suppose everyone should go to Ole Miss at some point to check the box, but it's less about football and more about other stuff. To do Ole Miss right, you go on a Thursday, book reservations at City Grocery and another of the expensive restaurants for Thursday and Friday, then do the Grove on gameday (which is underwhelming to be honest). Don't know where you are from, but Oxford is what a Highland Park housewife would think a small town should be -- all expensive dress shops, restaurants, lawyers offices, and a bookstore. It's a take the wife trip. Expect to spend money. Not easy to get to, either, if you don't live within driving distance.
Auburn is underrated by some. Friendly fans, good stadium, lots of tailgating. It's definitely worth going and pretty easy to get to from ATL. Plenty of places to stay in nearby Columbus, GA if hotel prices in Auburn are too steep for you.
LSU is an experience. I would probably put it at the top of the list. Baton Rouge isn't an attraction, so when I go, I like to stay at the Sonesta Suites, just down the street from the stadium (within walking distance, and next to a Walkons and some other eateries; you don't even need a rental car if you stay there). Combining it with a trip to New Orleans is fine, but don't stay in New Orleans on gameday -- traffic is terrible.

I'd recommend, out of those, probably LSU if it's a night game. We don't want you getting chummy with Auburn. They're a blight.

I would choose LSU. Great experience, great people that will invite you to tailgate or have a beer with them as long as you're not being an asshat.
Hopefully a night game so you can take it all in.
Second would be Auburn.
Third Ole Miss.
I've never been to Missouri for a game.

Auburn and Ole Miss would be the 2 to do

We will be heading to Norman

I have been to Norman a few times. It is okay. The campus itself is nice but the town surrounding it is not so nice. I am not that excited to go there anymore, however they are supposed to have improved their tailgate scene.

It's not my thing, but if you have a fetish for Golden Showers go to LSU. You can get piss bottles dumped on you there for free.

#1 seems obvious enough, the other two are whatever stadium you'd like to visit more.

If you had to narrow the list to three definitely eliminate Auburn. Unless you want to stay at the Comfort Inn in Opelika and eat at Buffalo Wild Wings and drive into Auburn for the game.
