I think SC gets UGA/Florida/Kentucky. I'd be fine with the three you mentioned of UGA/Mizzou/Vanderbilt though.

I like it. Though I will miss playing the UK game every year. Was turning into quite the contest.

Thank you! I agree. I hate it. My 95 year old grandma Thanksgivings are precious.

It ends up being my family both State and OM crowded around the TV and then feeling guilty and taking breaks to visit more with everyone.

Auburn’s three biggest traditional rivals are Bama, Georgia and Florida. Pretty sure most Auburn fans would prefer them for our three permanent opponents regardless of difficulty or parity in scheduling.

I almost put that in my earlier post, but you're going to have to make sacrifices for the greater good.

Auburn getting all three will likely give someone like Miss State getting Ole Miss, A$M and Kentucky.
If you're "original SEC", you should get at least one Big 6 permanent opponent. Not just for level of difficulty, but for letting everyone have a 'marquee' game on schedule.

Bama has no business making state a permanent rival. Those games haven’t been competitive in 30 years.

That is the setup I want. OU-Arky needs to be a rivalry, they are the closest campuses to each other and frankly it should have happened before now.

Replace Auburn with Tennessee.

I would prefer an actual competetive opponent.

I understand Auburn has to play Alabama and Georgia and that Alabama has to also play Tennessee but idgaf about Georgia playing Florida every year. I'd much rather see them matched up with one of the newcomers instead.

UGA: Auburn, USCe, Oklahoma

Alabama: Tennessee and Auburn first on the list. After that it's a little harder. I want LSU because of the rivalry that has built up since Saban came in. However State is the closest school to us. I know that one goal is to get a class playing at each stadium but I'm going to hate not having some of the annual games.

I'm torn between State and LSU but State is the closest school to us. Tennessee is finally back and Auburn will be rising again with Freeze. In the world according to you are we supposed to have Georgia as our third permanent rival?

Its funny we can now recreate portions of an old conference within the SEC. Mizzou can now play UT, TAM, and OU. Throw in ku and it’s like we never left—there’s really no other teams I cared about that much in the Big 12 (except NU, but they’re long gone).

I was shocked by the fact that OU and Arkansas have basically never played each other. 230 miles apart and they basically had to trip over Norman to get to their SWC away games.

Arkansas - A&M, Texas, and Ole Miss.

Oklahoma is not a matchup that will move the needle.
