re: Is it fair that the Texas Aggies get to play South Carolina every year?

Well the SEC tries to match as close as possible relative same strength teams in their cross division rivalry search. With a backdrop of traditional rivalry context. In other words they want AU and UGA to get it on. Given the old rivalry. UA and UT is a must and both schools and their fans demand the game. When the SEC expanded UF and LSU was a natural. And on down the line. All the way to Ole Miss-Vandy and MSU-UK who were both "dogs" as far as football is concerned. SC and AG's are sorta middlin' right now so that is an attractive match like a 7.5 HS girl and her prom date who is a nice boy but not the QB either.
