Ever wondered when your team will next play an SEC rival that you haven't played since Truman was president? Since 2012 when A&M and Missouri joined the SEC, UGA, for example, will not have traveled to A&M until 2024. That shouldn't be.
See when you play each other again...

15 years between some team’s visits to certain stadiums
Go to 9 conference games. You fricking morons.

To play devil’s advocate, Georgia and Texas A&M have basically no meaningful history. Why is it so imperative to travel there with any regularity?
For example, 9 conference games would seriously cripple the possibility of playing semi-regular games against Clemson, which is a far more traditional and compelling opponent for UGA.

I've not said anything about going to 9 conf games or that we should play another school like A&M with "regularity". We should play them at least once every 6-8 years, I'd think, rather than going 10-15 years.
I don't think going 10-15 years without playing another conference member is right. It should be fewer years than that when two member schools play each other.
They need to do something to correct this. I don't know if going to 9 conf games is the answer in terms of the point you brought up or not....not sure what to do about it.

Roommate Switch/Pod approach >>> 9 games
I'd gladly sacrifice losing every year matchups for every other year matchups with all but 2 East schools (UF and then whatever makes sense balance wise, but probably USC) and Auburn in order to have better rotation through the conference. We had about the same history with Mizzou that we have with A&M at the time of expansion, yet we play one every year and the other once every 7... just seems flawed.

Because teams should actually feel like they are in the same conference

That depends on what would have to be sacrificed to fix it.

Or get rid of permanent opponents.
Nobody cares about TSIO anymore. And Ole Miss/Vandy, Kentucky/MSU are only against it cause they want to play the worst of the worst from the other side annually.
The only permanent opponent matchups that have any sort of national attraction are LSU/UF who are against it and UGA vs Auburn.

all you LSU fans can expect me to be there for the Vandy game. Please be a night game.

I’m all for this but haven’t seen any real push for it in any official capacity.

because they are in our conference. It will be 12 years since they joined the SEC before we play there (and 7 years after since they play here), that shouldn't happen.
Back in teh good ole days before latest expansion we played our division, AU, and 2 other west teams every year on a rotating basis. YOu would have a home/home with every non-AU west team every 5 years.
Fib and others are right, we need to just ditch divisions and each team have 3 permanent opponents based on history or whatever (ours would be UF/AU/SC) then rotate the other teams every year.

That was great, but those days aren’t ever coming back.
One of the unavoidable downsides of conference expansion was that some schools in the same conference wouldn’t play very often. Trying to force it at the expense of more important considerations is foolish.
The 3 permanent opponents thing would be great, but there’s no indication of that ever happening.

Excellent point.
UGA & AU aren't going to give up their "Deep South's Oldest Rivalry" rivalry. A holy war will erupt and the burning down of Birmingham offices will ensue if they do.

You do.
Each school rotates on every 6 years, now that the shuffle from the last expansion is over. You will only visit their stadium once every 12 years, though.
The best solution is to lose the permanent opponent and rotate both cross division games.
ETA - I still love the UA/UT rivalry, but it's honestly tough to even call it a rivalry these days.

I think it's 7 years, isn't it? UGA played @LSU in '18, but LSU doesn't travel to UGA until 2025 (7 years).

you say that but nobody cares about tradition anymore. It's already been moved to september. People always clamor for au/mizz to switch divisions which woudl kill TSIO. And now people even want the WLOCP out of jax.
Sad times.

I haven't looked at it closely, but they may have done a schedule alteration for some reason.
As it stands, you have one permanent opponent and six rotating ones, that, unless they change things again will pop up once each six years.
