If if does, then only when it is played in Fayetteville, I would rather the game be Saturday night. ABC/ESPN will have all the SEC games and they have said they will work with schools to respect traditions. That means TENN/Bama 3rd week in October, UF/UGA the last Saturday in October, Texas/Texas A&M the last week of the schedule (maybe back to Thanksgiving), Ole Miss/State (Egg bowl also on Thanksgiving) which could mean both Texas/Aggie and Ole Miss/State both play on Thanksgiving, ESPN as egg bowl at 5:00 or 6:00 PM, ABC has Texas/Texas A&M at 7:00/7:15 etc.

If Aggie and Texas are going to be the last week, then when the league goes to 9 games, it looks like Texas/Texas A&M will move back to Thanksgiving weekend. The only possibilities for LSU will be Arkansas or OU for LSU to play the last weekend. My guess OU/MIZZOU will likely play both an old Big 8 connection for us old timers along with BIG12. LSU/Arkansas would then be LSU's final weekend game.

All these games are set for the last week, which account for 12 of the 16 teams now in the league.

UGA/GA. Tech
SCAR/Clemson
Bama/Auburn
UF/FSU
UK/Louisville
Ole Miss/MSU
TENN/Vandy
Texas/Texas A&M

That leaves LSU, OU, MIZZOU and Arkansas.

I was worried about this. With A&M-Texas returning to Thanksgiving weekend, it means mathematically LSU has to have Arkansas be its permanent end of the year rival. I don't see how else it could play out that would make any sense... Very sad we are going to be forced into this rivalry. I feel like that has to mean they are pulling Ole Miss from us, which seems crazy to me. I don't see them ending the Bama game or A&M game.
