When Texas A&M goes back to playing UT during rivalry week, will the void be filled by Arkansas again? Or does the conference try and fill it vs. Oklahoma since the Arky/Mizzou matchup is a border rival? Just wondering

Stay in your lane. This is a big deal in the SEC.

I would be in favor of bringing back LibSU for that Friday.

Not sure, but I would enjoy LSU and OU with my leftovers, for sure.

We'll have to see if the butthurt schools in Lowrents and Stoolwater want to play every year...

OU and Mizzou have played 96 times so IMO they are a better fit for rivalry weekend.

Pig v Tigah for the boot seems like the obvious choice.

I don't care about any of this shite. Put some good teams on the schedule and let's play some games. When will all of this expansion talk pass?

OU is gonna play OSU that weekend. Either we get Arky back or if Mizzou has them then we would need to find a new game. With no other real team in Louisiana I could see us getting stuck with some random opponent.

During the last 4 years, 2017 to 2020, when OU and OK. State played in Norman, the game was in late October or first week in November. So there is already precedent to play the game early. Seems to me OU is in the negotiation driving seat with Ok. State. We agree to play but we will play in week 2, after a warm up game, then each will have 1 game after Bedlam before OU would start SEC league play.

SO OU/LSU would be great if the SEC goes with the 2 Divisions shifting Mizzou West and Bama and Auburn East.

It will just rotate at this point, too many rivalries to placate. Teams should learn from LSU, whoever is best is your rival, that’s who you are really competing against. Having said that please give us anyone but Bama

We can rotate, you can see your stepson on one thanksgiving, and we get our son the next, deal?

It will basically have to be Arkansas, no?

I hope LSU vs A&M stays as a late in the season fixture.

We wouldn’t mind.

Just to let you know Louisiana has yet to move , we still border Arkansas!

I would prefer we play Arkansas, we have a much longer history than we do with OU. But as far as ESPN is concerned, what game do you think they would prefer to have on the schedule LSU/Ark or LSU/OU?

In that question is the answer to the reality of what will happen if A&M goes back to playing Texas that weekend.

How’s this for rivalry week games? Pretty much what it’s always been, right?

Conference Matchups:
Alabama vs Auburn
Texas vs A&M
Ole Miss vs Mississippi State
Tennessee vs Vanderbilt
LSU vs Arkansas


OOC Matchups:
Georgia vs Georgia Tech
Florida vs FSU / Miami
Oklahoma vs OKST
Kentucky vs Louisville
South Carolina vs Clemson
Missouri vs Kansas

Are any of these OOC ones usually played during a different week of the season? I’m not sure
