You just sorely lack intelligence. It benefits no one but the competition to voluntarily give ourselves the toughest schedule in the SEC. We would still play Georgia and Florida every other year with Kentucky and Vanderbilt on the schedule.

Under my scenario all the top SEC programs would play each other. This is how they should do the 3 permanent rivals:

Tennessee - Alabama, Florida, Georgia
Florida - Georgia, LSU, Tennessee
Georgia - Florida, Auburn, Tennessee
Alabama - Auburn, Tennessee, LSU
LSU - Florida, Alabama, Auburn
Auburn - Alabama, Georgia, LSU

Then have Texas, Oklahoma, and A&M play each other and the rest of the scrub programs can go at it. This way the league schedule is balanced with the top teams playing each other every year and the bottom feeders playing each other. Nobody has that much of a competitive disadvantage in this scenario. This is best for fan enjoyment as we get more good games each year and less bad games.

Playing FL and GA every year is NOT tradition.

Why not make your point instead of countering mine? How many times does a series have to be played to be deemed Traditional? 25 ? 30? 50? Ut& Uga have met 51 times, and 33 years since 92. Beg to differ. Google says this: The Florida–Tennessee football rivalry, also called the Third Saturday in September,[2] is an American college football rivalry between the Florida Gators football team of the University of Florida and Tennessee Volunteers football team of the University of Tennessee, who first met on the football field in 1916. So just go on with that mess.

I like playing Alabama every year, Vandy, and I would personally pick Florida over Kentucky just for memories of the rivalry from 90s and early 2000s.

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.

Do people not realize that the SEC ASKED each team for their top 3 choices of rivals.

Bama picked UT
Vandy picked UT
UK assuredly picked UT

UT picked those three back. Now is there an outside chance the SEC gives us SC or Fla instead of UK? Sure, but make no mistake those schools want UT as well

Fixed my graphic. Thoughts? Miss State is the only team that doesn't have an easy game, but someone is going to get screwed.

They will never be happy ; always changing, changing. Tennessee is supposed to play bama, florida, uga, uk & vandy every year. Tradition. But Tradition doesn't matter anymore. I doesn't matter what WE want/think. It will probably be bama, uk and vandy.

Tradition since 92

We used to play Auburn far more than UGA and Florida. I miss those days of a 10 team SEC

This is essentially a gift to Texas, Oklahoma and A&M to make the playoff. Have all the others beat up on each other and let the newbies cakewalk into the playoffs.


Makes no sense.

Wish they had 2 permanent opponents and rotated everyone else in the league; I like the option of being able to see everyone in the conference more often.

We have the same for several but here is my guess.

Tennessee - Bama, UK, Vandy

Auburn - Bama, UGA, Vandy

Bama - UT, Auburn, MSST

UGA - Auburn, Florida, USCjr

A&M - LSU, Texas, Arkansas

LSU - A&M, Ole Miss, Florida

Kentucky - UT, MSST, Florida

Vandy - UT, Ole Miss, Auburn

Texas - OU, A&M, Arkansas

Arkansas - Texas, A&M, Mizzou

Ole Miss - LSU, MSST, Vandy

Mizzou - Arkansas, OU, USCjr

OU - Texas, Arkansas, Mizzou

MSST - Ole Miss, UK, Bama

South Carolina - OU, Mizzou, UGA

Florida - LSU, UGA, UK

I don't understand the desire to keep UK on the schedule.

We have dominated them more than Vanderbilt.

It sucks going up to Lexington every other year to play in that dreary, dark, boring stadium.

Plus, they're heatherns.

The only way I would get on board with playing UK is if they agreed to come to Knoxville 3 out of 4 years.

What would make this game more interesting would be if Tennessee would play their starters the 1st quarter only, then put in the backups for the rest of the game.

Maybe that would make this dull rivalry sorta interesting.

It would be dangerous to take out Kentucky. That's a guaranteed win

Bama, Florida, Vandy. We could do without playing Ga every year. Never viewed them as a “main” rival personally.
