It's no surprise that the newest members are high on each list, but kind of shocking to see how few times some charter members have played each other.

Not a big surprise.
Georgia tries to avoid anything associated with LSU.
Brings up bad memories.

Auburn gets screwed by having to play the most BIG6 teams often.
Vanderbilt looks like they had to play all big6 a lot too.

Things that jumped out to me:
Auburn’s schedule all time.
DSOR with 124 meetings.
Mizzou had no business joining this league.

This is a fun list. It makes me think about the importance of playing every team in the conference more regularly though. The best solution I've seen is some version of the roommate switch (which gets you to at least 50% of the time and obviously 100% of the years for teams in your pod or designated as permanent opponents)
The other question that arose in my mind was which teams are the most important rivals for each team- which relates to the frequency of times played but doesn't exactly match.
At first pass I would guess (ooc rivals mentioned but not ranked in parentheses):
Alabama:
1) Auburn, Tennessee
3) LSU
Arkansas:
1) A&M, LSU
3) Missouri
Auburn:
1) Alabama and UGA
3) LSU and Florida
Florida: (FSU, Miami)
1) UGA
2) LSU and Auburn
Georgia: (Ga Tech)
1) Auburn and Florida
Kentucky: (Louisville)
1) Vanderbilt
2) Tennessee
LSU:
1) debatable
2) Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Florida, Ole Miss, Texas A&M
Ole Miss:
1) MSU
2) LSU
MSU:
1) Ole Miss
2) maybe Kentucky?
Missouri: (Kansas)
1) debatable
2) Arkansas, A&M, Kentucky
South Carolina: (Clemson)
1) UGA
2) Florida
Tennessee:
1) Alabama
2) Florida, UGA, Vanderbilt
Texas A&M: (Texas)
1) Arkansas and LSU
3) Missouri maybe
Vanderbilt:
1) Tennessee
2) Kentucky and Ole Miss

Why have we played UT 115 times? 
Posted on 6/2/20 at 8:32 pm to tkeefer
Are you talking about played AS an SEC team.....or just played them ANY time?
& regular season - or does post season count too?

Take away the 3 games Arkansas and Vanderbilt played before Arkansas joined the SEC and we've played Vanderbilt the least.

Such a shame we don’t get to see the gamecocks more often. I want to see a good game at Williams-Brice. Like a top 25 game with something on the line.

It's a shame that we've only played A&M once since they joined the conference. That was a great game. Would like to get them in Lexington with the momentum Stoops has had.

Very interesting topic Keefer thank you for posting.

Odd fact, LSU is the only team that has played every other team in the conference at least 21 times but one (Missouri).

It's a shame we don't get to play Florida as often. Even though we played them every year till 2002, I still find it surprising that the difference in games against Alabama is just now even. I grew up in Jacksonville, so getting to bring my family and friends to that game is always fun. I've heard that following the 2026 season, there is going to be some changes to how conference games are scheduled. Really hoping they go with the pod system idea that has been thrown around.

Georgia has played Florida 98 times. Ackchually

I’m in favor of the 10 other SEC teams finding some sort of rotation for cross-division games. Let TDSOR & Bama/UT continue then let the remainder of the SEC play each other on a normal rotation. Why do all other 10 SEC teams have to suffer because Bama wants to keep beating up on Tennessee?

Auburn has played Vandy 43 times.
Bama has played Vandy 84 times.

By the year 2100 Mizzou will have played LSU a TOTAL of 15 games in the history of the programs. We need to get rid of divisions or add an extra conference game. This is ridiculous.

And this is why people who say the old SEC schedule pre-expansion (before Arkansas and South Carolina) was better, are wrong:
LSU has played A&M and Arkansas more times than they've played Auburn, Kentucky, Georgia, Tennessee and Vanderbilt- teams they've been in conference with forever. Florida only 1 more game than Arkansas.
Consider- since Arkansas entered in 91, LSU has played Auburn and Florida every year.
So before expansion, LSU rarely got a chance to see half the SEC; they played Bama and the Mississippi schools.
