No more Bama-LSU.

Y'all boatrace us nearly every year but this game IS college football. To remove that annually is a damn shame. I'm going to miss the annual runup to playing Bama. LSU should have Bama, Auburn, and Ole Miss. The fact that we're not going to play either Bama or Auburn on an annual basis is retarded.

You left the big 12 because the sec thought at the time they were getting oklahoma and texas and they held their nose and invited you frickers to be nice...no other reason.

No Tennessee just loses two tougher games. Tennessee gets to keep our oldest and most traditional rivals. Two border rivals and the in state school

Bama and LSU was as good as gone once Bama lost to FSU this year. They wanted all the smoke in the offseason then def ran and hid after that game


Because if there's one thing we know for certain, Bama is scared of LSU.

Was going for Florida, but this will do. I like Oxford.

Two border rivals

Tennessee borders like 9 states

You could call yourself a border rival with Arkansas, Missouri, Alabama, Auburn, State, Ole Miss, Kentucky, South Carolina, and Georgia

Texas with OU, A&M and Akry???


Yes, we call this the SWC pod.


OU has never played a down in the SWC.

Wow, some pretty big matchups are gone:



Not really. They won't be played annually, but they will still happen.

I kinda wanted Kentucky instead of Carolina. I get the whole regionalism thing with Carolina, but UGA has played Kentucky every year since 1956. It is a traditional SEC matchup with more to it in my opinion than UGA vs South Carolina.

Can we swap Aggie for Bama/UF/AU?

Nobody wants to share a stadium with that queer arse fan base

OU Mizzou will be the least watched rivalry game that weekend. What a joke

I don’t know why OU and A&M never play


I agree with the first part. A&M doesn't move the needle for me much more than Mizzou. Arky or LSU would have been much better.

Ole Miss is unexpected and cool. Fun fans.

It was clear it was going to looks something like this, with a lot of third opponents chosen for "balance" rather than geography or history when they announced that they were going to review it after 4 years. As soon as they said that it was clear that Alabama wouldnt get Auburn, Tennessee AND LSU, and Auburn wouldnt get Alabama, Georgia, AND Florida, etc.

Trying to balance these out is a fools errand. Sometimes the "bottom" teams are going to be really good and someone will have to play them, opposite is true for the top. They will never be able to balance this like they think they can. Should have just gone with history then geography and let it shake out forever or until the next expansion.

Also, Florida and Tennessee didn’t get picked? How is that even possible?

Yeah but in those 21 years, some really fun games were played. I've missed it.

And thank goodness for that. Another stale non-rivalry on top of Missouri would be torture.

I'm guessing this is how we got stuck with transsouri.
