I'd say UGA's rivals are UF, Auburn, and Tennessee, historically.  Fourth might be Ole Miss or Kentucky.

Yes, but somebody needs to be paired up with South Carolina.  Until Clemson and NCSU are added to the SEC, Georgia is the closest school to South Carolina geographicly (I think)

For Big Ten I would guess for the 3 fixed rivals

With USC and NW both being private schools in large metro areas,  they could be considered rivals, right?


MSU - Mich, Indy, MD
PSU - OSU, MD, Rut
Do you have no respect for the Land Grant Trophy rivalry?:)

RIP TAM  :)
Why RIP A&M?  We already have played in the sec west for the last 10 years, no doubt the toughest division in CFb. I’d trade OU and Tex for Alabama and some of the other teams any day. 

Personally I’d like to play Texas and LSU and somebody other than OU. Perhaps Arkansas or Georgia or even Florida.

I definitely prefer this idea of playing 3 non-rotating games that are NOT locked into pods, so TAMU could annually play Texas and LSU and not necessarily OU or Arkansas.

As a Texas fan my clear preference for 3 non-rotating games would be TAMU, OU, and the pigs.  But no reason those three schools should be locked into the same.

It could be very simple and this is easier position to take for a Nebraska, Rutgers, or Maryland fan, than it is for the rest of the Big Ten fans, I would guess. We are accustomed to playing the traditional Big Ten teams, and as we expand we lose those traditional Big Ten games.
I have heard some say conference expansion is destroying college football because some regional games will not be played. It is destructive, and may cause a loss of interest, but "destroying" is further than I could go.
Some parents don't want their kids playing football, and that in the end could lead to the sport's demise, but long after I am gone.

Pairing Florida with LSU will simply be prolonging a BS rivalry to begin with.

Penn State would snap that up in a second.They already play tOSU every season so you'd be scheduling 2 automatic Ws

I generally like what @LittlePig came up with and I want to add that I've done lists like his and it isn't easy. Compromises have to be made.

It is easy to pick one or two "rivalries" from the list to criticize but MUCH harder to come up with a better alternative.

I know it's a full magnitude tougher as the number of teams increase, but I'd much rather schedule 4 or more teams that play annually like the Iowa AD is pushing.

watering it down to only 3 teams in an attempt to be able to play Rutgers and Maryland somewhat regularly, every 5 or 6 seasons maybe more just because they're in "the same" conference is a stretch that doesn't help

For many, many decades, the SEC was more a loose federation of teams that agreed to mostly the same rules.  There were teams in the SEC in the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, that shared a conference but played each other seldom, or not at all.

I think it's okay if we start looking at conferences that way.  As you suggest, there's no real need for Nebraska to play Rutgers or Maryland. Let's admit that conferences are just financial institutions, and set up some schedules that are fun and make sense.
