If Aub/UGA stays then Bama/UT should stay

I don’t think I’ve heard anyone even mention the possibility of keeping one and not the other.

Bama/UT has been the much more intense rivalry historically.
No, it really hasn't been.

Yes, it has.
Do you realize that Alabama and Auburn didn't even play each other for 41 years?...and Tennessee has beaten Alabama more than ANY other team.

If Bama keeps Tenn than daddy LSU will have to find another team to dominate

What's daddy LSU's record vs Bama & Tenn?

Post screenshots so we can all get an idea.

Well, that's the end of that conversation.

If they get rid of TSIO then UT will have an easy permanent. We're secondary rivals with UF (they would pick UGA or UF ahead of us) so they won't pair us with them and we're not rivals at all with UGA. We should at least get UK given we have an actual multisport rivalry with them and UK has been improving at football but they'll force us to go with Vandy because they're in-state and other than the occasional James Franklin hire I don't think Vandy is going to be able to be anything beyond solid. They're more interested in baseball and even basketball than they are football.

Bama-UT isn't going anywhere. I've said from the start there should be 9 games with the powers in the SEC getting 2 other powers and a non power program as perms and it was pretty much done that way with the Exception of Bama. If Bama was gonna be handed 3 teams that have won recent national titles, so be it if it means keeping the iron bowl and the 3rd saturday. I don't give two shites about the Baton Rouge game but if we play it, we play it to preserve the other 2.

You know, it’s a message board. You have time to think before spouting something off. It’s built in! It takes time to type something out.

Didn't your coach say he doesn't want to play Tennessee, Auburn and LSU in the same year? Does this mean y'all want to give up LSU?

If that’s the case, then college football as a whole loses, because that is one of the premium matchups every single year in the college football season and has led to some amazing competition.

That is a different issue and from an LSU perspective, I assume. Look at the numbers the vote was 9-5 (according to Ross Dellinger, Brett McMurphy and other journalist who follow the SEC). TX and OU come in and vote, and they are for the 9 games, it is 9-7. The schools that voted for 9 games were LSU, Florida, MIZZOU, Texas A&M and UGA.

So if the LSU/Bama game goes away to get a 9 game schedule, so be it. But looking at the numbers, Auburn is going to vote with Bama and TENN to get what those 3 schools want. Auburn wants Bama and UGA and I would think to move their UGA game back to November. TENN is going to want Bama in the 3rd Saturday in October (Bama wants that and have the Iron Bowl the last game of the year), Keep Vandy so they can go to Nashville every other year as it is becoming like Atlanta in terms of population and that gives them a presence directly there for recruiting.

The LSU/Bama game in my view will likely to go to get the 9 game schedule. The votes are not there unless Bama, Auburn and TENN move, if 2 of them vote with the 5 (LSU, MIZZOU, UGA, Florida and Texas A&M) plus OU/TX you get the 9 game schedule passed. I think those 3 will vote for the 9 game when they get what they want. The other schools, UK, Arkansas, Miss. State, Ole Miss, Vandy, SCAR are not going to vote for a 9th game.
