As an LSU alum I simply cannot see us not playing Ole Miss every season. If we only had one game, that would be it.
Our next matchup would be Alabama, despite it not making sense geographically, the recent tradition and the money made off of viewership is going to be tough to pass up, but I still don't think its a guarantee.
Lastly would be either Texas A&M or Arkansas, sorry Florida, you're out I think. This one I'm torn on, we've played Arkansas more, have a trophy and both teams have screwed the others from having elite to great to good seasons over the years. On the other hand I think LSU fans may dislike Aggies as much as anyone else.
What I'd really like to see is purely geographical matchups, but it looks like it won't happen now.
It would be like this
West- Mizzou, OU, TAM, Texas
West Central- Arkansas, Ole Miss, MS St, LSU
East Central- Vandy, Tenn, Bama, Aub
East- UK, UGA, SoCar, Florida
Geographical makes the most sense from both a travel and rivalry standpoint for everyone, isn't subjective and I don't think anyone will feel like they're getting fricked.
You have four of the "elite" programs spread out- Texas, LSU, Bama, UGA. Then a second tier group of OU, Ole Miss, Tenn, Florida. Third tier: TAM, Arky, Tenn, SoCar. Fourth tier: Mizzou, MS St, Vandy and UK.
I'd love to see the arguments against those four tiers and geographical opponents.

99.99% of bama fans will have Vandy as one of the permanent 3.

Georgia, Kentucky, and either UF or Missouri would be good with me.

Arkansas should play Ole Miss, State and Vandy annually.
What the league will give us, TX, A&M, Miz.

Playing Auburn, LSU and Tennessee every year with either Texas or Georgia is tough. Ditto for Oklahoma.
Think Ohio State doesn't have it made? The bottom half of the Big 10 really, really sucks.

This is what I’d like but we’ll probably continue to have Mizzou pushed on us. Personally, I’d rather play Oklahoma every year than Mizzou. And no, it’s not because Mizzou has pretty well owned us in FB since joining. I just think Oklahoma is a better fit and a better chance to eventually at least resemble somewhat of a rivalry.
I’d be good continuing to play A&M also now that it’s back on the campuses.
I venture to bet there will be very few teams 100% satisfied with their opponents. Knowing that, my main thing due to family in Louisiana and growing up during the 18 years of the SWC, I definitely want to see Texas and LSU every year.
