Jawja, tenn & Vandy are my three perms…

I think they should do scheduling lottery style every year. Make it an event. Have that lottery machine with those ping pong balls bouncing around (one ball for each program). Each head coach (or designated players) from a school selects 9 balls (their own ball removed, of course). Take bias out of it entirely.
I think at least half the conference that isn't those 3 would want them made permanent as well.
Oh yeah. In reality, I'd like UGA, UF, Tennessee. Maybe two of those and someone like vandy or miss st or UK to fill it in.
We will get Texas, Alabama and Georgia, or something close to that group. Watch and see. Not what I want.
I would like Georgia, Florida and Kentucky/Vandy but it won't be that. Georgia takes priority and they will get Florida, Auburn and Tennessee.
Alabama will get Auburn, Tennessee and probably LSU
Florida will get Tennessee, Georgia and LSU.
Auburn will get Alabama, Georgia and whoever they want.
LSU will get Florida, Arkansas and probably Alabama.
Tennessee will get Georgia, Florida and Alabama.

We will get stuck with Texas A&M, Missouri and whoever they need to fill it in with, hopefully Mississippi State.

I don't understand why some on here want MSU as permanent opponent. It must be the assumption of an easy win.
Personally, I find that prospect incredibly dull and boring.

I think we'll get UGA (I think UGA will get UF, Auburn, and will drop UT - remember, UGA fans will also want an "easy" game among their permanents as well). I think we'll get UT and either KY or UF unless they just go totally random with our 3rd pick.
It's interesting that they intend for everyone in the SEC to play everybody else at least once every 2 years (and home-and-home every 4 years). That means when you play a road game now, there is no guarantee that team will visit your place the following year.
And with an imbalanced schedule (4 home and 5 aways or vice versa), if SC, UGA, KY, and FL intend to keep our OOC rivalry games, we'll all have to get in sequence so that we play those rivals at home during the years that we play only 4 conference home games.

No Missouri please - nobody gets excited about that game.
I'd like to think we aren't among the preferred three permanent punching bags for fans of the perennially better teams in the SEC.
I live in the Atlanta area, surrounded by UGA fans, and I can attest they view us as nothing more than a penciled in W.
And they forget how even lowly UK has spoiled several otherwise great seasons for them.
As they should.
Atlanta metro has always been hotbed for talent and many kids like to stay close to home. UGA has made a nice living just off of this.
They are also reported to be one of the Top 3-5 NIL spenders as well.
Over the last 5 recruting cycles:
UGA:
21 - 5-stars
88 - 4-stars
SC:
3 - 5-stars
39 - 4-stars
Massive talent gap but I would still enjoy having them on the schedule -- if nothing more to serve as a yearly benchmark.
You must be thinking of another one. UK hasn't beaten UGA in 15 years. Almost got them last year though.
Yeah... I didn't realize it was that long ago. 2009 and 2006 were their previous wins over UGA. I guess the impact of those games made it seem more recent, much like the rare occassion we manage to get a win against them.
Very true. This is why I enjoy playing them. If we happen to pull the upset, it's better than any bowl victory by a longshot.
GA's probably will be Auburn, UT and UF due to existing rivalries. So doubtful that SC and GA get paired up.
UGA definitely will get Auburn and Florida. Don`t know about Tennessee. UT will get Bama, Vandy and ? Andy Staples predicts Missouri, Ole Miss and Kentucky for us. Nothing to get excited about there and just because we have capital cities with the same name that is no reason to give us Missouri. If they are going out geographically that far then they should give us Arkansas since we joined the SEC with them. Still hoping for 3 of UGA, UF, UK or Vandy but will be lucky to get 2 of them I guess, hell maybe one if Staples is right.
AI tells me Missouri, Ole Miss, Kentucky. Another AI gave me Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee. Yikes!

Gen AI currently has this problem: when it doesn't have enough information to give you the correct answer it will still give you an answer that sounds plausible, without telling you it didn't have enough info to give you the correct answer.
I guess so. In my quoted post I said a different AI but actually just reran the same AI the same question. Got a totally different answer.Gen AI currently has this problem: when it doesn't have enough information to give you the correct answer it will still give you an answer that sounds plausible, without telling you it didn't have enough info to give you the correct answer.
