re: Why won't LSU embrace the rivalry with Florida?

I like playing Florida every year if it doesn't screw everything up

The problem is with a 14 or 16 team SEC you don't get to play the rest of the teams from the opposite division when you have only 1 or 2 rotating opponents from the opposite division.

If a 16 team SEC with pods were to emerge I'd like LSU and Florida to remain fixed opponents - its a great game for a national television audience that promotes both schools
