I’d like to see Texas and Arkansas be our permanent opponents.

One will be Vandy, the other in my best guess will be South Carolina or Georgia

I think they may try and incorporate as regional as possible, which may bring Kentucky into play.......

The math doesn’t add up if you do 3 team pods.

They will keep the southern teams from getting cold as much as possible. Hence Vanderbilt and Kentucky

Underwhelming choices. The whistler and the Vanderbilt of baseball.

Would they consider dropping back to 27 conference games? The math would then work. 2 and 7 in rotation.
Wrong. 3 and six but still just 27

So I'm guessing each team will pick 2 that stay the same and then the SEC will do 8 rotating that will change each year. I would hope that they would let some computer go in and determine the schedule for 8 years that would let everyone play everyone. I wonder what will happen if we choose Vandy and Kentucky but Vandy says no we want Missouri and Oklahoma. Does a committee come in and say these 2 will play?

Yes, here is the committee.

I’d love to have Vandy and TX but doubt it will happen due to charter requirements for TX, but it would be the battle of UT vs UTX.

If the SEC starts using UT & TN, I’m gonna lose it.

They don’t really refer to us as UT much now.

We are the real UT. As I’ve told many of the Austinites, without TN they’d be part of Mexico.

 

[Hoosier_Vol]

I'd take Vandy, UK and Texas

UT
uTa
aTm

 

[Jake Tate]

I’d prefer to avoid the whistler at all costs.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Anyone with a sub able to let us know who they think are the two we will draw? I assume the first is Vandy.

What about UT vs UTK? 🤣 (ducks for cover)

Read somewhere that the SEC would try to handle the rotations in a way that would balance the difficulty of schedule for each team per year. That would seem to be tricky to do, so we shall see.

You are lucky I’m driving

 

[VolPack22]

I wouldn’t mind having Vanderbilt and Florida as permanent foes.

I used to like you.
