re: 3/6 Schedule Matrix + Permanents

The puzzle aspect makes it an interesting discussion for me as well.

I will throw this in. LSU vs Alabama has been the most valuable regular season game over the past decade plus for ESPN/CBS. I firmly believe that is a game that ESPN will demand stays annual. With that, LSU-Alabama is a permanent.

LSU would have Ole Miss, A&M and Alabama.
Alabama would have Auburn, Tennessee and LSU - you know, the three teams they actually sing about during their games.

Then the difficulty comes in the rivalry weekend, because all of LSU's permanent opponents have rivalry weekend games. I propose we set up a rotation with Arkansas, OU, Mizz and LSU.

Year 1: Arky-Missouri, LSU-OU
Year 2: Arky-LSU, Missouri-OU
