i like the idea brought up about the start of the war coming from an alliance between LSU, and AU causing bama, allied with ole miss, to launch a coordinated preemptive strike on MSU. the next logical plan of attack would be LSU. the ole miss/bama alliance would then reach out to a&m who would join and the alliance opens up two fronts against an isolated LSU. the obvious strategy to this is based on a quick wipeout of MSU and then a&m to take most of the burden of LSU with bama and ole miss playing more of a US eastern european threatre roll (letting the USSR (a&m) do most of the heavy fighting with germany (LSU) while doing enough to alleviate some pressure on an opposite front)

if all goes to plan an LSU weakend by fighting with a&m for a while capitulates when ole miss and bama come rolling through. once again, all of this is centered this 3 way alliance to wipe out MSU and LSU quickly enough so the formed alliance of AU, UGA, and UT cant overrun bama and ole miss.

if ole miss/bama/a&m succeed quickly. they then eliminated one of the eastern alliances major players and then can easily invade the others with the help of a newly allied UF, if the UGA/UT/AU/LSU alliance can last the initial premptive strike and take control of bama, they should be able to kick ole misses and a&ms arse with the help of a newly allied UF

there are 7 major players in this fight. one side has a&m, ole miss, and bama. the other has LSU/UT/AU/LSU. arky/mizzou/uk/miss state either join one of the sides or fight one another but dont play much of a role in the grand scheme of things. uf is neutral until they see which side is the weakest and then joins in on the stronger side for the knock out blow
