I don’t like the projected scheduling.

Vanderbilt, Kentucky and Tennessee should be permanent opponents. But I am seeing some formats with neither Vandy or Tennessee playing an annual game with Kentucky. I know the argument, but screw it.

Heck, we’ll get screwed again I’m sure. During the fricking COVID year when it was all sec schedules and we were coming off of 2 winless sec seasons and we had a new first year head coach they give us Georgia and Florida.
I don’t give a rat’s arse who we play anymore.

Since Arkansas joined the SEC 30+ years ago with several scheduling shuffles, they have played Vanderbilt 8 times and Kentucky 8 times.

Agreed. We go to the 3+6 model Vandy and Tennessee absolutely need to be two of our three. Too much history with the three of us.

Disney-ABC-ESPN controls SEC football scheduling now. All other influencers are irrelevant.

With the 3-6-6, if you don't play someone every year, you will play them every other year. Calm down sport.

Nobody cares what you like

LSU has had to endure playing in the west with Florida as our permanent east opponent for years then dealing with UGA with the rotation...we don't feel sorry for anyone with whom they have to play...

Lil 8 vandy fans upset about scheduling, while for decades, the big 6 had to play their cross Div rival every year as a permanent.
Sit down.
There’s very little appreciation for what the big6 did for your conference.
They toted the mail and made the cash split evenly by 12. Then we added schools that either refused to play their former rivals in bowls or plain and SIMP, just refused to play bowls altogether…..still got their hands out for revenue while bragging about being rich.
Talk about a welfare state.

As a Tennessee fan, I want UT's permanent opponents to be Vandy, Kentucky and Alabama. Tennessee has played each of these 3 opponents over 100 times throughout their history (UK 118, Vandy 117, Bama 105). The next highest is Ole Miss (66 games).
Florida and Georgia were "rivalries" contrived after division play was dreamed up. After 30 years of division play, UT has still barely played those two "rivals" more than they have played Georgia Tech who left the conference 6 decades ago.

They aren't going to put 3 mediocre teams together.

Of course you'd want UK and Vandy every year.

LOL. Right?

I really don’t want to get stuck with Vanderbilt and Kentucky.

I bet you do. How are you going to handle having to play Vandy and Kentucky every year? Just brutal

Dunno how I feel about it.
LSU/OM/MSU is a series with 100+ games each as well. Hard to break up.
But I’d hate to say LSU/TAMU (a regional game) or LSU/Bama (the historically occurring one).
I’d honestly say maybe it needs to go to 4 or 5.

Of course you didn't mention me also calling for Bama as a permanent opponent.
Let's do them for Florida by most games played.
Who has Florida played as many times as UT vs Vandy? Nobody

Vandy and Kentucky are both the closest two campuses to Knoxville...
Knoxville is 170 miles from UK and 179 miles from Vanderbilt. The next closest schools would be Georgia (235) and South Carolina (265).
Those are about half the distance that Florida is to the two closest schools (Auburn - 330) (Georgia - 344). So...of course, we would prefer to play the closer schools.
Football didn't start in 1990, and there were actually rivalries back in the old 10-team SEC.

Much like the Vandy board, no one cares. There are threads from 2019 on the first page of your board.
