It was either Arkansas or Oklahoma for LSU and LSU-Arkansas is a much more historical game, so Oklahoma gets stuck with Missouri to close it out......
Mizzou has Kansas and OU has Okie St for rivalry week. This is the best way. Hope they put the AR/LSU game back on Friday as well.

I'd rather my alma mater play Texas, LSU and either Mizzery or ATM. Ole Miss is a head scratcher.

I've said it before and will say it again.
They should have gone to the pod system. Four pods of four teams.
- Play each team in your pod every year (3 games)
- Each pod rotates to align with another pod 2 of every 6 years. Play every team in aligned pod (4 games).
- Every team has a permanent rival in every other pod (3 teams but only 2 games due to pod alignment covering the third)
- Pod alignment is like a temporary division with respect to championship game.
That's nine games, gives everyone six permanent rivals, and also allows you to play the others twice every six years.

That makes a lot more sense. Good job.

I think the league wants to leave open the possibility of OU playing OSU and Missouri playing KU the final weekend, if a deal could be worked out to do so.
Please, no.

Arkansas: Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Ole Miss, Vanderbilt, Florida
Central Group:
Alabama: Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Kentucky, Auburn, LSU, Texas
Tennessee: Alabama, Vanderbilt, Kentucky, Florida, A&M, Oklahoma
Kentucky: Tennessee, Alabama, Vanderbilt, Georgia, MSU, Missouri
Vanderbilt: Tennessee, Alabama, Kentucky, South Carolina, Ole Miss, Arkansas
SE Group :
Georgia: Florida, Auburn, South Carolina, Kentucky, A&M, Oklahoma
Florida : Georgia, Auburn, South Carolina, Tennessee, LSU, Arkansas
Auburn: Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, Alabama, Ole Miss, Texas
South Carolina: Georgia, Florida, Auburn, Missouri, Vanderbilt, MSU
Southern Group :
LSU: A&M, OM, MSU, Florida, Alabama, Oklahoma
A&M: LSU, OM, MSU, Texas, Tennessee, Georgia
Ole Miss: LSU, MSU, A&M, Arkansas, Vanderbilt, Auburn
MSU: OM, LSU, A&M, Kentucky, South Carolina, Missouri
