UGA-

Florida
Auburn
South Carolina

LSU

Ole Miss/Ms State
ARK

Conf doesn't want us breaking Ala or their new toys in OK/UT.

Kentucky: 10rc, Vandy and either USC, FU, or mizzou.

Either of the last 3 would be fine.

AU

GA, Al, Vandy

No way LSU keeps Bama if Bama is also playing Auburn and Tenn
My guess is they send LSU to Tuscaloosa before Tide ever sets foot in Baton Rouge again

First time poster, longtime lurker. Honest thoughts below.

I am hoping for:

1) Arkansas - 512 Miles campus to campus

The rivalry stated in 1903 (Aggies won 6-0), between 1992 and 2008 the schools did not play each other when Arkansas left the Southwest Conference for the SEC.

Arkansas does lead the all-time series 42-34-3, but is 1-10 vs. A&M in the past 11 years. I fully expect my Aggies to take the lead in this series within the next couple of years. Nonetheless, these games have always been exciting to watch, and we have SWC history.

2) LSU - 346 Miles Campus to Campus

LSU is the 2nd closest campus to Texas A&M, and as a younger fan (26) this football series has been one of my favorite to watch despite my Aggies only being 3-8 against the tigers since joining the SEC. The food is FIRE in Louisiana (and I am not talking about Sonic, I know you folks love y’all some Sonic), and playing the Tigers in any sport will always be a packed house.


3) t.u. - Autism (I learned this here on the rant, I will use this for the rest of my life) - 105 Miles campus to campus.

Unlike most (so it seems), I WANT to play Texas every year. Win or lose, the atmosphere for our matchups in any sport have always been intense. I have so many memories as a child getting together with my family on Thanksgiving and watching the game. I miss all the house divided shirts, I miss all the shite talking at school, and I miss going to the lonestarshowdown.com to see which school won in overall sports. I can’t wait to have this game back!

Welcome to the SEC Texas

Who I don't want:

1) Missouri - No hate here, nor am I inspired to attend a game vs Mizzou.

2) Mississippi State - I only hate the cowbells and the fact that our schools are the same color, aside from that I support lesser schools from poorer states trying to level up in college sports.

3) Oklahoma - Texas is a given for my Aggies, I don't want Oklahoma due to the fact that for me, it will feel like we are back in the Big 12. I want to play SEC teams, not be grouped with schools from the Big 12.

I think the Alabama AD has made it pretty clear that if Alabama is to have 3 permanent SEC games, they would be Auburn, Tenn and State. LSU keeping Alabama is pretty much a non-starter. But IMO, LSU has to keep one Big 6 team.

...which it now looks like will turn into the Big 8, defined as any SEC program winning a post-poll era NC.

This.

With TU and A&M playing in thanksgiving.

And a Big 8 matchup with Mizzou and OU for their final week.That would still give them the ability to eventually move that game and close out their year playing Kansas and Oklahoma State, respectfully.
