If there's a second rivalry week when should it be and how should it look?

Obviously the rivalry week we have now that ends the regular season won't change much or at all but we could use another rivalry week
I say week 3
something like this, all assumptions as far as permanent opponents
Auburn/UGA
OU/Misery-
Ole Miss/LSU
Alabama/State
USCe/ Aggy
Florida/Tenner
UK/Vandy
Texas/Arkansas

ETA possible matchups
Bama v UTee (naturally)
UTx v OU
AU v UGa
UF v LSU
Ole Kiff v Arky
UK v Vandy
then maybe dig into some OOC rivalries:
SCar v UNC
MSU v Tulane or Memphis
TAMU v Baylor or SMU
Mizzou v KU

Week 1.
Build the hype leading up to the season.

Auburn/UGA
This game used to be about the 2nd week of November. For many years Auburn played Georgia and Alabama back to back, with one of them being the final home game of the year.
Then the 2012 expansion for some reason shifted the schedule to either both being away or both being at home.
Then 2020 football schedule was all jumbled up and from then on UGA/Auburn has just been late September or Early October.

DSOR needs to move back to November. The game has too much history as a late season game to not be played with autumn leaves and a chill in the air.

Why do the rivalries have to all happen on the same day? Why add that layer of complexity?
The only ones with traditional dates are TSIO, WLCOP, and IB, that I am aware of.

2nd week of October. Still love the great setting of the State Fair of Texas

Try thinking about this like a TV executive. They want to spread out the best games, not stack a bunch on any given weekend. Hell, I'd volunteer to move the A&M-Texas game to early November, because the last Saturday is too crowded, and playing on Friday or Thursday ruins Thanksgiving.

First Saturday of October aint too shabby

I agree and would be down for back to back years in Athens to get it back on track for the home and away track of how it used to be.

OP: Hey you guys, I got this great idea. Let's play the Third Saturday in October rivalry game 4 weeks before!
