This is an article by Ross Dellenger who is a Huge LSU guy.


No he's not. He used to be an LSU reporter, but other than that he has no ties to the university. He is very reputable and does his homework.

Looks fair to me, I dont see why people are complaining, of all of those UGA probably has the easiest one, and thats just because theyre loaded playing against 2 above average teams

Apparently, he's the only SEC HC the conference planners are consulting with on this. For whatever reason he's the only one voicing his opinion on any of this. Why haven't we seen Kelly, Freeze, Fisher, Smart, Heupel, Kiffin, Pittman's opinion on their permanent matchups?

Fisher spoke about A&M's presumed pairings (Texas, LSU, and State) back at SEC Media Days. Ross Bjork was talking about it last week.

Sounds like Saban wants to end the Tenn permanent
If I'm Bama I would want LSU as permanent so you can be in LA every other year for recruiting purposes.
Tenn doesn't give him any recruiting advantages.

If it ends up being what Dellenger posted recently then Alabama would be the only team out of 16 that has all 3 permanent opponents from the Big 6 + Texas/OU. It's pretty reasonable to throw out a WTF to that.


A&M is in the Big 8
Tennessee the Little 8

That’s obvious with the 3 permanent opponents. Every Big 8 has two permanents in the Big 8. Every Little 8 has two permanents in the Little 8.

It ain’t that hard to see.

Then Bama should get a bigger cut of the revenue if we're carrying more weight during those media contract negotiations

Weird. Wonder if Hugh Freeze is going to whine, bitch, and moan like Saban. I also wonder if Saban wants to trade TN for UGA?

What in the Hell is up with Alabama these days. Just signed the best class in history, and Saban cries like a bitch about playing the same teams he's played since arriving in Turd Town.

Of course you want Ole Miss and State. Two schools who havent won an SEC title in like 60 years.


Awe shut it. Y'all want State for the same reason. An easy annual W.

They’ll get LSU because of money


What funds will be generated or lost with or without LSU play Bama as opposed to MSU/OM or A&M?

You really think Bama doesn't sell out those games regardless or the ESPN Gods will have some stipulation in their contract that this MUST be a annual game or less
TV revenue will be paid out? Sorry,I don't think the absence of this game annually is gonna mean millions are gonna be yanked from the ABC/ESPN TV deal

As the SEC continues to mull over those potential schedule formats, SI’s Dellenger made a first attempt at guessing the three permanent opponents for each SEC school based on rivalries, geography and parity:

Missouri: Oklahoma, Arkansas, Vanderbilt
Arkansas: Missouri, Texas, Ole Miss
Texas A&M: LSU, Texas, Mississippi State
Texas: Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Arkansas
Oklahoma: Texas, Missouri, Florida
LSU: Ole Miss, Texas A&M, Alabama
Ole Miss: Mississippi State, LSU, Arkansas
Mississippi State: Ole Miss, Kentucky, Texas A&M
Alabama: Auburn, Tennessee, LSU
Auburn: Alabama, Georgia, Vanderbilt
Vanderbilt: Tennessee, Auburn, Missouri
Tennessee: Vanderbilt, Alabama, South Carolina
Kentucky: Mississippi State, South Carolina, Georgia
Georgia: Auburn, Florida, Kentucky
Florida: Georgia, South Carolina, Oklahoma
South Carolina: Florida, Tennessee, Kentucky
What about this one?
