LSU-ARK.
TX-OU will likely be scheduled as a “OOC” deal and continue to play in neutral site. It’s whatever we say, they don’t vote.
Conference rivalries need to be played at home stadiums, thus A&M-TX play Thanksgiving weekend/day along with all the other conference rivalries happening that same week. The key is to make all rivalries play at school stadiums.

Main influences at the moment are around maximizing SEC bowl/playoff berths, which the majority now believe is best accomplished via 1-7.
Prime example of how money is destroying the sport. 100 year rivalries? Nah. Give us the most profitable set up. Tradition is taking a backseat and tradition is what makes college football special.

Agreed. And, if my math is correct, through our first 20 years in the SEC the record was 12-8 to LSU and was usually pretty entertaining. It just got REALLY lopsided through our most recent dark years. I'd love to have that game back the day after turkey day.

I dont either. Maybe make an exception and allow those two games to be played every year. IDK but I freaking hate what the SEC is becoming.

So you play your “rival” every other year. What’s the problem?

If Ole Miss was given the option of the 1 time rival being MSU or LSU, I think there would be a lot of people pushing for it to be LSU. I would be perfectly fine playing State once every 4 years. Over half the students come from out of state now and that number is growing. The Jackson and Tupelo kids and alumnicare about the MSU/Ole Miss rivalry but kids from Texas, Tennessee, Georgia, etc.. don't really care. Still have never been to a game and not heard go to hell lsu after the national anthem.

One thing with 1-7 means only 8 conf games and 4 OOC. With conf going to 16 teams and eventually I think Big 10 goes 16 - will it be harder to find good OOC games?
4 games x 16 teams is 64 games (teams) to find. Less and less teams will want to play as the conf gets stronger. Only so many popcorn state teams willing to play per year.

First, I've never seen anyone advocate against LSU getting night games. Moreover, I've not demanded LSU honor the Auburn-UGA game...ever.
I'm just pointing out that CBS circumstances impeding your "tradition" is a pretty silly reason to go all nihilist. I'm sure if they put it to a vote among SEC fans, people would have rallied to whatever LSU is upset about. This "us vs. them" thing is incredibly stupid in this context.

I bet a lot on here dont realize that UF and Auburn played each other pretty much every single season from the 1920s until 2002. And since 2002 they have only played 4 times.
My point being that while it sucks and things change the SEC has made changes like this before. And after a decade or two majority of people forget and move on from it.
Oh I think most of us in this thread realize that and hated losing that as well. Same with Auburn/Tennessee for that matter.
But we've already wittled away 3rd and 4th level rivalries, which sucks but is what it is. We're talking about rivalries that these programs are built around. Georgia/Auburn is probably the most incestrial rivalry (no pun intended) in college football. Alabama/Tennessee was the game for Alabama people for 70 years.
These games are the fabric of southern football and we're gonna rip them up so Texas can play in Athens 3 times every 9 years instead of 3 times every 12 years.
It really sucks.

If this becomes reality, it pisses me off beyond description. Georgia/Auburn is the 7th most played rivalry in CFB and tied for the second-most outside of the Ivy League. 126 games since 1892. 126! How can you get rid of that?
Posted on 6/6/22 at 11:30 am to Draconian Sanctions
If it’s 1-7 I would assume Texas and OU are paired together and we are paired with LSU
3-6 with Texas LSU and Arkansas was my dream but that’s probably unlikely

There is no way on Earth you are comparing the DSOR, TSIO and the WLOCP to Fla vs Aub

I understand the LSU thing but you played SEC/big OOC home games during the day pre-1992.
1984 Notre Dame - 2:50 PM
1985 Alabama - 2:50 PM
1986 Ole Miss - 2:30 PM
1987 Ohio State - 1:30 PM
1988 Ole Miss - 11:30 AM
1989 Tennessee - 12:00 PM
Was that part of the college football association tv deal saga?

unless im mistaken, this really doesnt change those games happening as they can still be played, but will just be labeled OOC games every other year

It does when you've established a 15 year filled OOC schedule of 2 P5 home and homes yearly through 2036.

Yes and we have the opportunity to renew that game and the L8 are trying to piss it away
