I also think that for some schools they could end up rebalancing those perma-rivals.  For Texas, three perma-rivals works out perfectly to our three historical rivals.  For other schools, some of them are a bit forced.  But I don't see any reason those couldn't be changed up every few years either.


I want to say they'll be revisited every 6 years.  I have no idea why that's in my mind, but it is.

is there a fan that likes the new world order post 2010? is there a fan that ever liked it? it is what it is.
It's not about us.  It's about getting as many NPCs walking by to click something.

Historically, UGA didn't play Tenn that often, then the SEC East came about.  Now it's gone.  Alabama has been in infrequent opponent also.  I know "back in the day", SEC schedules were ... weird.  Georgia Tech never played Mississippi teams, for example.  I guess teams could pick and choose.  

I recall 1979 I think it was that UGA played four ACC teams, and lost all four, but managed to win every conference game with Auburn coming to town, and a win there would secure a conference title at 6-5.  Auburn spared them that indignity.

Auburn and UGA have a history of "upsetting" each others great seasons, 1942, 1971, etc.
