We get to keep more rivalries, so I'm happy.

No worries! Pretty big news. I'm just hoping we keep Bama on the schedule every year (probably my age, lol)

Rest assured there will be 3 Little Sisters of the Poor along with 9 conference games on most SEC schedules from 2026 on out. Unless of course the “super league” comes to fruition and then who knows how that shakes out.

Freakin' finally! We've been on this boat since like 2013/2014 it seems.

One of the 3 OOC games must be a quality opponent. Only 2 buy games

Makes the season ticket cost a little easier to understand

Bama, Vandy, and Kentucky has to be our annual opponents you would think. That means no more annual Florida or Georgia sadly

Im fine with that if we get those 3 every year. The mixing of the 6 alternates will be the key

Still going to see everybody every 2 years, so no big deal.

Depends on the definition of “quality” and I guess we’ll find out. Not sure who is going to define that. Should be interesting.

I’m good with it. Those 3 are traditional historic rivals. The other two became big games because of division play, but they lack the history.

Tennessee, Bama, Auburn, Vandy

South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky

Mississippi, Miss State, LSU, Missouri (or Arkansas)

Oklahoma, Texas, Texas A&M, Arkansas (or Missouri)

Now you watch. Tennessee will have to surrender one of its oldest rivalries - likely Kentucky - so big baby Bama can be happy too. "What!? They get Vanderbilt and Kentucky? That's not fair!"

That means that this -
-will go away as a rivalry so those loathsome gumps will shut up about it.

(Georgia would probably complain too, but, you know, TSIO, until the end of time).

Sankey bent the knee.

More like he finally got the smaller SEC programs not-named-Missouri to bend the knee...and sadly some of the bigger ones too.

It's about freaking time.

Tennessee, Bama, Auburn, Vandy

South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky

Mississippi, Miss State, LSU, Missouri (or Arkansas)

Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas A&M, Arkansas (or Missouri)

They're not doing pods at this point.

Only took, what, 12 or 13 years of talking about it?
