It will be interesting to see how the SEC screws us here with some of our favorite conference rivals. So lets predict our new 3 rivals.

ill start

Mizzou
Texas A&M
Tennessee.



Personally I feel like the stupid trophies we started with Mizzou and A&M (That nobody cares about) will hurt us from moving away from those games. It also feels like the SEC will favor UGA/Auburn/Bama/UF/Bama/Texas in scheduling.

UGA will get AU, UF, UT
UF will get LSU, UGA, Auburn
UT will get Bama, Vandy, and maybe us...maybe UK.


It will be interesting to see if the SEC is willing to be fair, and tell some teams they can't all the SEC rivalries they want, so that others can have some of their favorite rivalries

Ideal: UGA, Florida/Tennessee, Kentucky/Vandy

Most favorable: Kentucky, Vandy, Arkansas/Mississippi State

Least favorable: UGA, Florida, Tennessee

The Worst: Missouri, Texas A&M, Kentucky/Arkansas

I dont think so. I think we just get stuck with the bland teams. I think they let UGA/Bama/Auburn/UF/LSU/Tennessee keep all their rivals and leave the rest of us with the left overs.

in thinking about it, I think the third team we get is Kentucky. So are Mizzou, UK, and A&M winnable each year ....yeah. It's just its boring and none of the orange crush will be left


but it would be fun to get really good, and have the blue bloods bitch about our schedule. Because they would....but they would also bitch if we broke up a game like Auburn UGA...or UF UGA, or Tennessee Bama

The only reason I don't think they get this is because of balance. Vandy and UK are both bad programs. I could see UT getting us or FL as the third

Yeah, I think the front office has pretty much shown over the year that if you're a "blue blood" (favorite program) that they don't care about balance. Even though TN has struggled recently, I think the front office will go out of their way to protect them.

if you were to poll Carolina fans on what three teams they WANT, id guess the answers would come out with the top 3 teams being UGA, UF, Tennessee.)

So yeah, we want UGA. That game is a lot of fun
