re: Here’s what the SEC’s 3 protected rivalry games should look like for every team (SDS)

You complained about playing Missouri only 17 times. Well it’s more than 4 times the amount of time we played oklahoma.

I pointed out that you were claiming something which simply wasn’t true. I’m willing to chalk it up to your lack of knowledge rather than a knowing falsehood, but you keep doubling down in an attempt to change the subject, which makes me think you simply don’t care if you spout lies as long as they fit your narrative.

Florida, LSU and Tennessee only play one other Big 6 team each in that setup. That’s pretty bad.

---

P1 - Big 6
P2 - G
P3 - H

Big 6 or Big 6
Big 6 or Big 6
Texas or Oklahoma
A or B
C or D
E or F

It still has 3 Big 6 + TX/OU each year.. everyone will play a pretty similar schedule

It’s a 1 game difference every 2 years..

Not pissed at anything SDS posts, but having OU with LSU and not Ole Miss is just brainless.

---

So I think LSU will go either 9-3 or 8-4 this season. Would you call me delusional?

You are so LSUsessed that you came unprompted into a thread about permanent rivalry games and responded to a post that was not addressed to you to randomly drive by and give your LSU record prediction.


Brian Kelly and LSU own your brain

Anyone that doesn’t have Ole Miss and LSU as permanent opponents is fricking brain dead

me...because frick not playing Ole Miss every year. they already took away State. Plus WTF...why did LSU, BAMA, UF do to deserve harder schedules than the god damn Texas schools? Why the frick do you have OU with LSU, we way more history with every other school in the conference.

frick the texas schools and catering to them. frick texas and frick A&M. they should have the hardest schedules.

im ok with that, not sure Bama will be though as they kind of get fricked but it maintains all their historic games but MS State. As an LSU fan I would prefer A&M to arky but im ok with either.

much better than the OP because in no world should LSU and Ole Miss not play

I still like the idea of 4 groups of 4. That gives you 3 permanent common opponents. Then, assign 1 permanent cross group opponent from each of the other 3 groups - which then gives a total of 6 permanent rivals. Alternating the groups in scheduling year after year allows every team to play every other team at least every 3rd year. So 6 permanents, 9 others that you play once every 3 years. 6 permanents allows for preservation of almost all traditional rivalries, and allows for somewhat regional groupings for travelling fans. The downside is it is a little confusing/complicated - and only seeing some schools only 3 years (which is better than now, but not every other year under the new 3 perm opponents system)

Year 1 - G1:G2, G3:G4
Year 2 - G1:G3, G2:G4
Year 3 - G1:G4, G2:G3
repeat...for Y4 and going forward

I am NOT saying we should be using pods/divisions/pools to structure divisions or anything like that - just a way to create some consistency in scheduling and preserve some of the key rivalries. I guess you could dynamically create 2 "divisions" each year if you wanted, but that sounds too much like a soccer tournament.

Here is an example (I'm sure this could be improved)...



in this example - take SC for example this would be their schedule by year...
Y1 - Bama, Miss St. Aub, Tenn, Fla, Ga, UK, aTm, Mizz
Y2 - Bama, Miss St., Aub, Mizz, OU, Ark, Vandy, Ga, aTm
Y3 - Bama, Miss St. Aub, TX, LSU, aTm, Ole Miss, Ga, Mizz
repeat

If OU doesn't play the Cowboys on rivalry weekend, they can play Mizzou, and LSU can play Arkansas.

The Cowboys?

That series ended when OU left the Big-12. OU has no incentive to renew it.

OU has no rivalry with Midzou. Only in the minds of the Midzou fans. We dominate that series.

I would much rather establish an annual Thanksgiving weekend rivalry with LSU than with Midzou. I would take Arkansas as 2nd choice, but an annual Thanksgiving meeting with LSU will be more meaningful.
