re: Why did the SEC only play 6 conference games a season up til the late 80's

I also noticed that would be HUGE gaps in years that certain teams played each other. It seemed that Mississippi State played Ole Miss, Alabama, Auburn, and LSU every year and that the other 2 games tended to rotate between Vandy, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Florida with sometimes playing home and home in 2 year patterns. State also used to play Southern Miss and Memphis (State) almost every year. Only playing Vandy and Kentucky twice throughout the 1980's

State played Florida every year from 1962-1993. As a youngster in the late 70's-early 80's I remember Vandy, Kentucky, UGA, and Tennessee would rotate on every two years.
