New SEC Basketball Permanent Rivals - *NOT OFFICIAL*

The league announced earlier this summer that they will increase the number of permanent rivals (i.e. teams that will play home and away games every year) from one to three. Each team will keep their current permanent rival and add two more.
The main goals of this are to get more SEC teams in the tournament (good teams play more good teams and increase RPI) and increase fan interest (play more teams against local rivals). Based on this criteria, I took a stab at trying to predict the new permanent rivals.
What does everyone think about these? THIS IS JUST MY GUESS - NOT OFFICIAL
Alabama - Auburn, Tennessee, Miss State
Arkansas - Mizzou, LSU, Texas A&M
Auburn - Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina
Florida - Kentucky, Georgia, South Carolina
Georgia - South Carolina, Florida, Auburn
Kentucky - Florida, Tennessee, Mizzou
LSU - Texas A&M, Arkansas, Ole Miss
Miss State - Ole Miss, Texas A&M, Alabama
Mizzou - Arkansas, Kentucky, Vandy
Ole Miss - Miss State, LSU, Vandy
South Carolina - Georgia, Auburn, Florida
Tennessee - Vandy, Kentucky, Alabama
Texas A&M - LSU, Arkansas, Miss State
Vandy - Tennessee, Ole Miss, Mizzou

How are they gonna take away the Miss State/Kentucky series?

Somewhat indifferent. Would at least like to have kept one of the bell cows of the conference as a permanent opponent.

In a perfect world this would have been my picks
#1 Vols
#2 Dores
#3 Hogs
If they ever get back to the old days then Bama and LSU would have been acceptable. The above rotation tho for UK works across the entire sports spectrum.
For the Dores this would be my Pick 3
#1 Vols
#2 Cats
#3 Rebs

I will be extremely arse hurt if UT and UF aren't paired together.
UT's should be:
1.UK
2.UF
3.VU
UT's should be:
1.UK
2.UF
3.VU

Arkansas probably makes the most sense as the primary and TAMU seems like a decent choice for #2.
Vandy could be a good spot for #3 by travel, colors, and possibility of well matched games.

If that's true then UF got fricked because that will be the toughest draw in the conference within the next few years.
SCAR's is not much better with Georgia, Auburn, Florida.
Kentucky may have the toughest with Florida, Tennessee, Mizzou ... if Mizzou holds-up their end of the bargain when we let them in and actually becomes a respectable basketball program.

As long as we keep UK.

I hope our three are Tennessee, Vandy and Mizzou but I know everybody wants us matched with Florida.

Florida and Tennessee are pretty much non-negotiables at this point. I'd like to see Mississippi State or Vandy for the third.
ETA: Florida has been a solid rival for at least a decade at this point. Don't know how that's not established to some given what both programs have done over that decade.
