re: [Dellenger] From speaking to league insiders, this is our best guess of the three rivals

This one is better, but whatever.
Dellenger’s list looks handpicked by ESPN - lots of made for TV matchups and rivalries that don’t do good ratings were cast aside like USC-UGA and UK-UT.

If Dellenger’s list is accurate, LSU-A&M isn’t moving from Thanksgiving. There is no way they’re moving the Egg Bowl and Iron Bowl off that weekend. Not happening.

That one looks pretty damned good.

Not bad, but Tennessee getting Kentucky and Vandy as permanent opponents isn't too equitable. Not great for Vol season ticket holders either.

No, thank you.
I like Dellengers better than this.

Yes, all games will likely move off that weekend to one weekend before.

As stated above, Missouri is 12th in the SEC. The only schools with lower attendance are Miss State and Vandy. At least Miss State brings passion and energy to the game day atmosphere. Congrats on being in a category of small attendance and passive fans like Vandy football. Those are qualities of most of the PAC 12 schools outside of USC, Oregon and Washington.

If you think the SEC gives a frog fart about anything that Texas A&M wants, I have a bridge in College Station to sell you.
The SEC, unlike the old Big12 is not run by one team like you Horns were able to do. There is a voting system in place and the league works with its partners (teams).
If LSU forms a lobby with Arkansas, OU and MIZZOU and lets say Texas A&M to leverage those 5 votes with the SEC, Texas and their 1 vote is not going to sway anything. This is not the old Big12 where Texas can threaten to take their ball on go home.
That last weekend will have SEC/ACC Rival or SEC/SEC games/rival games played.
Florida/FSU
UK/Louisville
UGA/GA. Tech
SCAR/Clemson
Bama/Auburn
TENN/Vandy
Miss. State/Ole Miss
So the above games account for 10 of the now 16 teams.
That leaves, LSU, Arkansas, MIZZOU, OU, Texas and Texas A&M
The most logical way this works for everyone is:
Arkansas/Texas
MIZZOU/OU
LSU/Texas A&M.
Everyone is playing a Power 5 team that last weekend, either in conference SEC or vs. an ACC Team, before the SEC title game in Atlanta.

Not only is that the most logical, but it's the only way. The only perm rival Lsu has in that group is A&M. You can't do one of the rotating opponents.
A&M/tu is going to need to find a new home on the schedule.

Getting Arkansas instead of Vanderbilt gets me rock hard

Arky, Vandy and KY? Three bottom feeders.

Despite what Saban said, “equity” of permanent opponents barely matters if the rotation is right:
For example,
Alabama
Auburn
LSU
Tennessee
OU/Texas
Texas A&M/Arkansas
Florida/Georgia
Miss State/Ole Miss
South Carolina/Missouri
Kentucky/Vanderbilt
Tennessee
Alabama
Kentucky
Vanderbilt
LSU/Auburn
Texas/Oklahoma
Arkansas/Texas A&M
Georgia/Florida
Ole Miss/Miss State
Missouri/South Carolina
Even if Alabama has 3 big 6 + 2 permanent opponents and UT only has 1. If they appropriately rotate the remaining schools, the difference in the total schedule is negligible.
The only focus of the permanent opponents should be preserving rivalries for all teams. Dellenger’s list doesn’t do that and leaves us with asinine “rivalries” like Florida-Oklahoma, Miss State-Texas A&M, Kentucky-UGA. The list sucks.
