Georgia who’s already the best team in the conference this decade got the easiest permanents of all.

the league coddled the Dawgs


I honestly don't know how some of y'all function. The biggest cmoplaint over the last 5 years of transfer portal/NIL/expansion/playoff bullshite is that history and tradition are going by the wayside all in the name of money. So now the league assigns 3 annual opponents wiht a HEAVY emphasis on preserving historical rivalries and people are stunned.

We have to play UF and AU yearly. No way around it. Despite their recent struggles those are 2 Big6 members that SHOULD be a competent opponent year in year out. Our 3rd opponent was also pretty much a given, considering we are SC's #1 SEC rival so hands were tied from that end.

To think the league specfically went easy on us or "coddled" us based on these pairings just defies all logic and common sense. And if the league was SoOoOoO adamant about coddling us, why do we have to go to tuscalossa again next year? From 2020-2026 we will have played bama 3 times in tuscaloosa compared to just once in athens.

Perfect, and great for fans in terms of travel times/distances.

Don't know how Georgia fans feel but feels really great to have this game back.


I like it as a UGA fan. Usually a good game and always good people. Plus it means the Border War Pep Rally in Augusta (North Augusta now) will be an annual event again....fun event for both fan bases.

Let’s be honest here and agree that the SEC is run by a bunch of fricking morons!

Tenn got the easiest path of the big 6


SEC was always gonna make us play Vandy bc they're in-state. We were always going to play BAMA because that's what both BAMA and Tennessee want. Kentucky is our most played rival AND it's a two-sport rivalry.

UK - 120
Vandy - 119
Alabama - 107

Ole Miss 65

*Auburn 54


Florida 54
Georgia 54

*Auburn is a traditional rival but that was killed during the first expansion and Auburn has UGA and BAMA. OM has never really been a rival. Florida and Georgia we only started playing regularly post-expansion I.

We got the perms that make the most sense.

Who put these together?? Looks really stupid. Did y'all accidentally hire the ACC commissioner?

Would have preferred Tn. or Miss. over SC.
