    Well just because Bear Bryant played the 2nd half with a Broken leg doesn't make it a Rivalry.

    That hurts the SEC as we'd play ourselves out of a playoff pot. Remember when 11-1 bama and 12-1 UGA made the playoffs? That would have been a play in game if you take the "top 2 " instead of the West winner, AUburn. Also in 2011 Bama and LSU would have rematched before the Natty.

    that's 2x in the last 8 years that no divisions = one less SEC team in the national championship game. i doubt the SEc ever goes for it

    We will, almost certainly next fall. This is not a normal year. Everybody's in the same boat.

And I can't understand why Kentucky of all people wants to have a rivalry with us in football.

    Or like Ole Miss and LSU where LSU doesn't care about them at all and it's big for Ole Miss.

    Heck- I think we have a rivalry with Alabama somewhat just because of proximity.
    Not too long ago, it was a huge rivalry - when the outcome was not a given. And it's still a rivalry. There are a huge number of Tennessee fans in Alabama. They just haven't come out of the woodwork recently, but they will when Tennessee becomes competitive again.

    And with 3:00 min left in the 1st quarter the non-rivalry that ruins the SEC's schedule is non-competitive.

    I completely disagree. More SEC games is awesome. Keep it at ten, one P5 opponent, and one homecoming or tune up paycheck game.

    Revisited this thread and I see that there are people who would like to see the total amount of SEC games reduced to 7 to help MSU... just FYI for anyone reading this, you are a weak minded loser if 7 sec games is your preference.

    Completely agree.

    I care way more about Big time SEC football weekends with family and friends than I do about an extra win against a crappy G5 team
