9 SEC games, starting in 2026

Well no, they beat them the last time they played

I was talking about the historical strength of the two programs, not the most recent game between them.

This is so crazy it’s hard to know where to start, but this exists in your head not sankey’s…you say what is going to happen but you never say why it will happen…going beyond 16 comes with tremendous downsides in terms of losing rivalry games. That’s the whole point of a conference…if you’re playing someone once a decade then you’re not really in the same conference so again, what’s the point?

Anyone who says the SEC would like to add Duke and Kansas is frankly not a serious or informed person

you didn’t say why adding these 2nd rate schools- relative to the OU and UTx additions- adds more money than it takes away by splitting the shares more ways…

You said I need to check my sources- what are yours?

Guessing you aren’t checking the most recent updates on expansion today? Lol

Another thread, another horrendous take by one poster in particular. I have never seen someone so blatantly obtuse in their opinions and erroneous in their logic.

Tennessee’s biggest rival is Alabama.
Tennessee’s in-state rival is Vanderbilt.
Kentucky’s biggest rival is Tennessee.
Vanderbilt’s biggest rival is Tennessee.

Who does Kentucky play if not Tennessee?
Who does Vandy play if not Tennessee?

Permanent rivals were made in the first place for rivalries like The Third Saturday in October.

I would be shocked if it were anyone other than Alabama, Kentucky, and Vandy for the Vols.

Been saying this for years. Only logical choices.

if we are truly taking long time rivals the Vols must get Bama, Kentucky, and Vanderbilt.
