Don't you have to beat a team at least once over 13 years for it to be a rivalry?

To be fair not many teams have beat Bama much during that time.

Well, another shakeup is coming. Still think B12 is the only casualty.

Carolina-Texas A&M Arkansas was the first East-West perm opponent when Carolina joined the SEC as they were both the newcomers, and it was a fairly even matchup with Ark leading 13 game to 10. I would think there is a little bit of bad blood in this one since A&M has won all 6 contests and also swiped the SC AD. Add that Muschamp was the heir apparent in Austin for a while and the whole statehouse stuff and you would think this is eventually going to brew into something.


I have absolutely no bad blood towards A&M. It’s a fake manufactured rivalry. I’d prefer to go back to playing Arkansas, we had just started forming some history with them.

A&M could win the next 6 in a row and I wouldn’t care beyond our football team being arse. I miss the pig bros we came here with

Lol. Mullen made it one sided? Are you retarded? UK owned State. Mullen brought the all time series into .500 territory. Until Mullen, it WAS one sided. In Kentucky's favor. JFC.


I'm not sure one coaches tenure qualifies for ownage of a series that's around .500

Not really. I just see them as another SEC opponent from the east that I usually pull for when not playing State.

Pretty much this exactly

As I hate Florida more than I hate any SEC West opponent. So I definitely consider them a rival!

I preferred our matchup with South Carolina.

We came in at the same time and had that in common.

The mizzou thing sucks.No history of any kind there.

OP, the "rivalry" between us and Gamecocks isnt as big as a pimple on either sides arse.

This needs to go away. It is a shame that this was the first season we got to play Georgia after 7 seasons in the conference.

It’s not a geographically natural rivalry but after so many years of meaningful competitions (being shite on by spurrier in the 90s, 2000s football, 2017 CWS, Hurricane Matthew fiasco), I now find myself rooting against Florida in everything. So if that counts then yes I consider y’all rivals

Florida most certainly is our rival. It's been one of the better ones in the SEC since the early 2000s.

Mizzou-Arkansas
For 2 schools who are this close in proximity there is not a lot of history between them.


It's a 5 hour drive between Fayetteville and CoMo. It ain't like it's next door. Three other Big12 schools are closer to Fayetteville than Columbia is.

States are bigger west of the Mississippi.

I miss the South Carolina game, too. There were some great ones. I also miss playing Tennessee annually.

That's the SEC I'll always love and remember from my college years.

Wouldn't it make sense to have SCAR go back to playing Arky and have A&M play Mizzou every year since they at least have some previous Big 12 history with each other?

The overarching question is tough for me because I understand the frustration from other teams in the conference, but as a Georgia fan a season without the DSOR is not a proper college football season. That game has to be played.

None of this was really a problem until we expanded to 14 teams.

We need to play 9 conference games. frick playing an Ark. St. or Wofford over playing someone from the opposite division. Coaches and ADs need to quit being pussies.

Nope. Just a game forced on us by the SEC to preserve the precious Alabama-Tennessee game.
