Or add another cross-division (9th SEC) game and do some sensible realignment:

Move Auburn to the East & Mizzou to the West.

East vs West -- fixed opponents
Auburn vs Bama
Georgia vs Texas A&M
Florida vs LSU
Tennessee vs Ole Miss
S Carolina vs Miss St
Kentucky vs Mizzou
Vandy vs Arkansas

With one fixed and two rotating games, the gap between playing each of the 6 rotating cross-divion teams is only two years. Every player would get the opportunity to play against every rotating cross-division team at least once.

As long as Tennessee is terrible, the REC will not change the cross-conference rivalry rule.

I agree. If we're going to have a permanent rival it should be Arkansas who we came into the league with, otherwise no other permanent game from the West makes sense for us. All we get from this is these retards coming to our statehouse every other year leading gay arse cheers.

Throw in UF/LSU, and this is a decent idea. Each of the big 6 plays at least 3 big six every year. Everyone else rotates.

At least until we have to kick UT out of the big 6 and put aggie or somebody in their place.

There is NO WAY to have 2 schedule rotations at the same time.

& sorry, but DSOR & TSIO will NOT be non-conf. games.

Does it really matter who we play every year?

As it's been proven EVERY TIME, Aub. East ENDS TSIO or IB.

The SEC WILL NOT make that move!

&, before it's mentioned, TSIO & DSOR will NOT be non-div. games.

dump these supposed "traditional rivalries" that nobody gives two shits about? God forbid we deprive Alabama of its annual layup against Tennessee in the name of tradition. frick that stupid worthless game.

No one cares about them yet you yourself said you like the UF/LSU matchup. Bama/UT isn’t gonna give their game up. I certainly don’t want to lose AU/UGA.

Tradition is what makes this conference great

& explain how 9 games HELPS UGA, UF, USC, & UK by now giving them only 2 slots to schedule anybody & have to host those games EVERY YEAR to get 7H games.

WORST option because you can't schedule 2 c-d rotations at the same time.

& now expect to hear from the 4 school with in-state ACC rivalries to argue you're leaving them 1 slot each year to schedule anybody.

Nobody seems to remember when Manning and UT were pushing Bama’s shite in. They won 7 in a row and 10 off 13 games from 95 to 2006. Nobody was bitching about the TSIO then. Y’all loved seeing the Vols whip our azz.
