UGA
Auburn
LSU
Vols
UK
FSU
Miami
For SECCG - Bama

No one else has it like that.

Vandy and SC may even feel the same.

Who are your team's must play or should play opponents?

As an SC fan, it felt weird to not play UF the last two years. Easy road trip for both fanbases, and the games are generally entertaining.

Don't *have* to play, but I enjoy playing the series.

For damn sure, I don't want to play 9 SEC games. Puts everyone in the SEC at a huge disadvantage.

We Aggies have enjoyed playing UF several times since 2012.

You guys are a great big beautiful brand that other teams want to associate with!

I'm an Auburn fan, and I can definitely say that I miss our series. Congrats on the win on Saturday!

I was thinking SC and Vandy may feel the same also about playing UF also.

The SOS and Muschanp connections are cool too.
Well, the SOS connection is for sure.
Muschamp not so much even though I believe he tried his best for both programs but just wasn't good enough.

Sankey and the SEC should rethink that move.

Tennessee-Florida was a big game for span, but it's lost its luster during recent years. And I suppose that was always a bigger deal to Tennessee fans than Florida fans. I suspect UGA, FSU and Miami would all be more important to the Gators.

Appreciate that! It seems the SEC was trying to create a rivalry with UF & aTm at one point.
Have you all even played UGA
We welcomed aTm into the SEC so I guess we will always have some type of sec connection.
I think that's the year Manziel won the Heisman?

We even debuted the infamous alligator skin unis vs aTm. Gators I hear enjoy visiting the 12th Man stadium. One of the best in nation!

Our closest SEC rival geographically.
Miss it too even though the '93 and '94 losses are still 2 of the biggest heartbreak losses ever for me.

Congrats on that big W between the hedges.
Been waiting to see you guys win that one since we haven't been able to do it in a while.

Yes, I remember our first SEC game against Florida. We were very proud to have Florida as our welcome game to the SEC!

We’ve played Georgia 1 time since we’ve been in the league… at their place.

One of these days they’ll make it to College Station!

Good luck the rest of the way to your Gators! Sumrall seems legit and has you boys looking good!

I think he tried, yes. But he's also notoriously stubborn. He doubles down on bad decisions. For example, Drinkwitz was an OC in North Carolina (I think he was at NC State, IIRC), and he wanted the vacant OC job at SC. Instead, Muschamp gave it to McClendon, who was legit over his skis. Drink went to App State, and has had something of a personal vendetta against SC ever since. That was hubris playing out in real time for Champ.

I personally don't miss anything about the Muschamp tenure. He did less with more than anyone in the conference during his time here. Beamer is a goober who can't hold on to leads, but he has bigger wins during his time than Champ ever did.

I’d like

Alabama
Florida
Georgia
Kentucky
LSU
Mississippi State
Ole Miss
Tennessee
Vanderbilt

Every year

Rotate in one of the SWC or big 8 schools and play a ten game schedule
