OU has a week off before playing Kent State and another one before playing Bama.

UGA will pick up UK I suspect, with Auburn and UF.  USCe is interesting, their rivals are not really rivals except UGA to some extent.  I'm fine with reviewing this every four years.

I'd assume Texas will get OU, Texas A&M, and Arkansas.  Some of them are gonna look a little weird so I like the idea of revisiting every 4 years and potentially switching things up for any schools that don't have three obvious historical rivals inside the conference.

For some, the three are fairly obvious, two would be very obvious, and for several nobody is obvious.  That can mean USCe gets linked to Missouri.  And there likely will be an effort not to pair anyone with say Bama/Texas/UGA.

For sure, but I don't think there's much danger of that anyway.  From what I can tell really only Auburn overlaps with Georgia and Alabama, and Texas wouldn't ever be in that mix.

Just the math will make it weird. Every school has to have exactly three, and they're reciprocal. If one of Texas' three is Arky, then Arky has to have Texas as one of their three. You just can't help but force a couple of odd choices at the end.

Yup.  It obviously works out perfectly for Texas. But it won't for various other schools in the SEC.  Which is why I like the idea of revisiting and potentially rotating every 4 years.

Who would the rest of you SECers like to see as your three perma-rivals?

Would prefer Bama, Florida, and Kentucky.

We will get Vandy, however.  Yay.

I know I'm in the minority but I'd like for A&M's to be LSU, Ole Miss, and Auburn.  I think playing Texas not every year would only enhance the rivalry.  As I understand it, each team will play the entire SEC every two years.  Not sure about that, they haven't been very forthcoming on how the schedule works.  You could swap Ole Miss for Miss State, I'd be good either way.
