What are the SEC division rivalry games?

Tenn - Bama
UGA - Auburn

What are the other 4? Not sure.

LSU-Florida (which is turning into a pretty good game), South Carolina-Arkansas, Kentucky-Miss State, and Vandy-Ole Miss. None of those are "traditional" rivalries like UT-UA and AU-UGA.

Right now, Florida fans consider the SEC rivalry games to be Tennessee and Georgia, in that order. The UGA game has been a huge part of the SEC for Florida for 40 years, but with Georgia having sucked for a decade or so, it just isn't as important as it used to be, especially as the trend has emerged for the winner of the UT-Florida game to have the inside track on the SECE.

I can't remember what the rule is on playing the other division so I'm not sure we are destined to play LSU every year. We may be. I know that we rotate on and off with a team like Auburn. I don't think we play them for a little bit, now. Which pisses me off because we owe them some serious revenge for the last two years.

Every East team is set up to play one particular West team every year. Evidently, that is LSU for you. Your other two SECw opponents in any given year are on a rotating schedule.

Each team has one "perennial rival" from the other division that they play every year, and they also play 2 of the other 5 teams on a rotating, home and home basis. LSU is Florida's perennial rival, just as Bama is UT's. Vercingetorix listed the others.

Well that sucks for us. Why can't ours be Alabama and yours be LSU? What SECW team is locked into Vandy? That's a bonus.

I assumed from the original question that he was curious as to who the permanent opponents for other teams are. You guys do indeed play LSU every year, and you rotate around everybody else. You won't get Auburn back on the schedule for several years.

LSU-UF is played every year. After that the SECw teams rotate. An SECe team's schedule would be:

5 games vs SECe opponents
2 games vs SECw opponents
1 game vs traditional opponent (from the west)

(hope I typed that right)

Ours is Alabama because it's a longstanding traditional rivalry; same with Georgia-Auburn, even though that rivalry doesn't seem to have much venom behind it. (Georgia fans have three games every year that they care more about.) The rest of them are arbitrary, as far as I can tell.

Definitely a disadvantage to have LSU as your permanent opponent than, say, Mississippi State.

In 92 the season ended with LSU @ 2-9 and bama won the NC. Didn't seem so unfair then. :p

Kaley Cuoco, plays "Penny" in the Big Bang Theory on Monday nights. Funny show and she is, as you can tell, a charmer.
