You should be pissed that Tennessee gets to rest up for you guys.

All that winning earned Bama the right to have three Big 6 as permanent opponents. Seems fair.

Biggest flaw I see is no reason they couldn’t swap South Carolina and Kentucky so UGA plays SC and Tennessee plays Kentucky. All 4 teams would prefer that.

This is so funny to watch everybody's reaction. This IS NOT finalized by any means. The haven't even decided on the scheduling model. If Bama ends up with Auburn UT and LSU then AUbie better end end up with Bama UGA and Florida.

There is no way Bama ends its series with UT and Auburn. I just don't see the 3rd being LSU.

Really thought we’d get LSU, Texas and Mizzou but I’m not opposed to Ole Miss. Some really great games in that series too. I do wonder if this means we get Texas on Thanksgiving and Mizzou gets OU. That’d be a nice consolation for losing LSU at least.

Auburn should get LSU not Vandy. That game is usually great

What is the deal with that? Is there a conspiracy going on?

My ideal three would be Bama, Auburn and UF, but it won’t happen. I’m mentally preparing myself for some SWC abomination like Texas, A&M and Arkansas.

That seems to be where this is headed.

Bama should be playing MSU every year.

Tennessee should have Kentucky not South Carolina. We have a 2 sport rivalry with UK and they are one of our oldest rivals
Exactly. Kentucky fans want Tennessee before any other game.

Same for OM-Vandy. We’ve played every year since WW2 with the exception of ‘58, ‘68 & ‘69. It’s Vandy’s second most played game behind Tennessee. Plus have the Chucky Mullins story. Just feels wrong to not be playing them yearly
Wrong. Kentucky is Vandy's second most played game.

Bjork said the schedules were finalized except football. I think football might be unique vs baseball/basketball. But I’m just guessing trying to read between the lines.

No Bama should not

Y’all aren’t rivals. The games aren’t close. No one watches outside of the two fanbases

Proximity to your campus means shite in the new SEC

We aren't rivals with LSU either, and yes proximity matters.

Everyone is so focused on the 3 permanent rivals, we might get fricked on the back end. What if A&M draws LSU/tu/Miss State as expected, and draws Bama/Georgia/Oklahoma as 3 of our remaining 6?!? We’d be fricked every other year. Those “6” that rotate every year in a 3-6 schedule are just as important on how it’s decided.

If these permanent rivals are accurate, Bama won't have to wonder. We'll be getting screwed by the schedule every single year. No way around it.
