The Three Permanent Conference Games

[robcovol]

Until the SEC added Arkansas and South Carolina in 1992, if I remember correctly, Tennessee hardly ever played Georgia.

Vanderbilt is our most played opponent

No, Kentucky is.

Tennessee	Vanderbilt	Alabama	Kentucky
Vanderbilt	Tennessee	Kentucky	Ole Miss
Alabama	Auburn	Tennessee	Mississippi St
Auburn	Alabama	Georgia	Oklahoma
Georgia	Florida	Auburn	South Carolina
Florida	Georgia	South Carolina	LSU
Ole Miss	Mississippi St	LSU	Vanderbilt
Mississippi St	Ole Miss	Texas A&M	Alabama
Texas	Texas A&M	Oklahoma	Arkansas
Texas A&M	Texas	Mississippi St	Missouri
Oklahoma	Missouri	Texas	Auburn
Missouri	Oklahoma	Arkansas	Texas A&M
Arkansas	LSU	Missouri	Texas
LSU	Arkansas	Ole Miss	Florida
South Carolina	Kentucky	Florida	Georgia
Kentucky	South Carolina	Vanderbilt	Tennessee

I think you nailed it.

We are both Vandy and UKs top football rivals.
How is it fair to UK If they don’t get the Vols but Vandy does.

This is the point I’ve made that folks are overlooking. Everyone will get their top conference rival. For Kentucky, that’s Tennessee. We can’t just look at this from Tennessee’s perspective.

It doesn’t matter what I want to happen. It what anyone else here wants to happen. The SEC release said that the focus is on preserving traditional rivalries. The 3 most “traditional” rivalries for Tennessee are Vanderbilt, Alabama, and Kentucky.

I voted Bama, UF and UK. Yeah Vandy's in state and an old rival but we can do without seeing them every year.
Who I'd really like for permanent rivals is Bama, UK, and Auburn.

Kentucky is not a rival.

They are a road apple.

Until the SEC added Arkansas and South Carolina in 1992, if I remember correctly, Tennessee hardly ever played Georgia.

Before the SEC went to divisions we rarely played Georgia, Florida, MSU or LSU.

This.

I'm disgusted so many voted for Vanderbilt and Kentucky. Straight up loser mentality.

Give me Florida, Georgia, and Alabama.

If I were to guess, you don’t attend a lot of UT games in person and you probably have wagers on most games.

Alabama, Florida and Texas. F it!



Edit: I would also like to see Georgia Tech and Army on a two year rotation as a permanent non conference game
