when I was a kid (mid 70's to late 80's), the Georgia vs Clemson game was always one of the biggest and most exciting games of the season

I hated seeing that game go & still miss it

YES, I prefer having S Carolina in the SEC to Clemson, but still miss playing them every year

some others are pretty obvious:

Texas A&M vs Texas
Florida vs Auburn
Florida vs Miami
GA Tech vs Auburn
Tennessee vs Auburn


hell, I even miss Mizzou vs Kansas

and Kentucky vs Indiana -- wasn't that a yearly rivalry as well? They used to play all the time & that is a game/matchup that just makes sense...

Tennessee and Arkansas used to have a lot of great games when they played annually.

UK and IU have a long rivalry in football and basketball both. I miss the football game. Neednl to add them back and drop one of the cupcakes. IU has been more solid of late too in the B1G. Not a terrible add on to our schedule.

Playing FSU, Miami, LSU, Georgia, Tenn, Auburn every year would be pretty fun. FSU is down now but that's not likely to stay for a long time. Miami might figure it out if someone like Mack Brown comes and locks down South Florida like he has UNC.

Georgia vs Clemson

Would be no benefit to UGA to play that game. Clemson, Bama, and OSU have shown the committee doesn’t care at all about OoC schedule.

Arkansas and Tennessee had a pretty good series going in the late 90's.

Basketball: Mizzou/Billikens. The 1999-2001 series was awesome. Both sides need to put their pettiness aside for the good of the state.

due to both those states being were its located and lesser population, given the actual history, if these states were located on a coast it would be the most popular rivalry across any sport.

I absolutely believe Florida - Auburn should be played annually, but at this point fine with playing Miami just on occasion. Like the current direction of our OOC schedule.

So you want Auburn, Florida, and Tennessee playing even tougher schedules? Hmmm....
