August 21Aug 21 Curious if this goes into effect for 2026, which 6 of the 7 we haven't played in league play yet would be our 6 non-protected opponents: Auburn, South Carolina, LSU, Tennessee, Ole Miss, Alabama, Mizzou I would guess Bama is the odd one out, since we played them OOC in 22/23

I bet several other SEC schools will whine like the little Cunts they are, again, that they have more than 3 "special" rivalry games each year that, "they can’t live without," as expected. Lulz.

August 21Aug 21 Just now, Js1 said: LSU would probably want Bama, Florida and Arkansas What about Ole Miss? I thought UF (and/or LSU) wanted to get out of this game annually. I don't think any team can honestly claim more than 3 rivals. I wouldn't cry over losing Arky.
August 21Aug 21 3 + 6 would be fantastic. Bama is probably out but a schedule of OU, aggy, Arkansas, Tennessee, Auburn, LSU, Ole Miss and Mizzou is pretty nice.

Florida's 3 SEC rivals should include UGA, TN, and who else? I know somebody created a grid for the 3+6 format a while back. Compromises will have to be made for some teams.

August 21Aug 21 1 minute ago, Js1 said: Aggy. It’s historic (since like 2014 lol) A&M vs USCe is played for the prestigious Bonham Trophy, sir. I can see why aggy wants to play this game every year, based on their record since 2014.

It doesn't really matter, SEC gonna fuck the Gata any chance they get. See Auburn series It's more like a tier list for me. Teams to die in a fire: FSU, UGA, Miami, 10rc Teams to suffer testicular torsion: LSU, clan, Bama Teams we don't think about till the week before: All others Teams we'd prefer not think about: Georgia Southern/Nebraska Teams to low key root for when not playing: Vandy

August 21Aug 21 Well... this is basically the same as the Pods from a few years back, but we don't seem to have a lot of mention of that dreaded word.
August 21Aug 21 Not that anyone really cares about Kentucky football, but their rivals are Tennessee and Vanderbilt. Miss St, USCe, UGa doesn't make any sense. And the SEC tried to make Ark and LSU are rivalry when Ark came into the conference. Replace Ole Miss with LSU for Ark. And USCe? They truly don't have a rival except OOC Clemson. Here's my half-assed attempt: Missouri: Oklahoma, Arkansas, Ole Miss Arkansas: Missouri, Texas, LSU Texas A&M: LSU, Texas, Mississippi State Texas: Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Arkansas Oklahoma: Texas, Missouri, Florida LSU: Arkansas, Texas A&M, Alabama Ole Miss: Mississippi State, Auburn, Missouri Mississippi State: Ole Miss, Vanderbilt, Texas A&M Alabama: Auburn, Tennessee, LSU Auburn: Alabama, Georgia, Ole Miss Vanderbilt: Tennessee, Kentucky, Miss State Tennessee: Vanderbilt, Alabama, Kentucky Kentucky: Tennessee, Vanderbilt, S Carolina Georgia: Auburn, Florida, S Carolina Florida: Georgia, South Carolina, Oklahoma South Carolina: Florida, Kentucky, Georgia

It's not really pods because every school doesn't have the same 3 other schools on the schedule. A true pod of Texas, Arkansas, OU, and Texas A&M schedule would look like: Texas: Arkansas, A&M, OU OU: Texas, Arkansas, A&M A&M: OU, Texas, Arkansas, Arkansas: OU, Texas, Texas A&M That's okay, but really, why would OU and Arkansas have to play each other every year? They don't have longstanding rivalries with one another. The 3 perma-rivals, on the other hand, can rotate all of that out and make it fit better for each team. From above: Arkansas: Missouri, Texas, Ole Miss Texas A&M: LSU, Texas, Mississippi State Texas: Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Arkansas Oklahoma: Texas, Missouri, Florida

August 21Aug 21 I am desperately hoping that the conference balances out our rival games and makes them 1 home, 1 road and 1 neutral each year. This would mean that EITHER aggy or Arkansas will be coming back to DKR in '26. Please, God, let it be aggy. I want to see their heads explode!
