I want to hear the view points of Missouri and Texas A&M

Good question on who does OU play during Thanksgiving week. I get the feeling Bedlam is going to disappear.

Maybe they can do an OOC with Nebraska that week. That's be cooler than anything else the BIG could schedule for the Huskers.

Ugh, we are talking about that right now. I am betting on Missouri.

hell they don't even play bedlam to close this season.. they are out on the rd playing BYU lol
 
Here is my guess on SEC Thanksgiving Matchups:

Alabama-Auburn
Arkansas-LSU
Florida-Florida State
Georgia-Georgia Tech
Kentucky-Louisville
Ole Miss-Miss State
Oklahoma-Missouri
South Carolina-Clemson
Texas-Texas A&M
Tennessee-Vanderbilt

Might be the best we can come up with. So many lousy end of the year "rivalry games" with SEC west teams, aside from the Iron Bowl. The east teams all have really solid traditional rivalries that make sense.

If they go to the pod system they could maybe arrange some better matchups. OTOH, why does a team HAVE to have a blockbuster rivalry game at the end of the year? OU's biggest game is always the RRS.

It is really in the eye of the beholder. The Ole Miss-Miss State game is historical. Despite the variance in historical success, I do enjoy Tennessee-Vanderbilt games and it means a lot in Nashville. Each game has its own charm. This is why I hate the entire ranking of best rivalries. In Oregon, Oregon vs Oregon State might be the big matchup. A lot of it is regional.

I think Oregon might consider Washington to be the bigger rival than the Beavers.

I know most people outside of South Carolina don't care about the Palmetto Bowl, unless both teams are ranked (rare). But it's huge in-state.
 
@outofyourmind

I know Missouri sounds lame but you are going to have big-names. In fact, if it is followed like the Missouri-Texas A&M expansion, you will likely have your first game against a "big name" opponent.

Texas A&M opened SEC play with Florida and Missouri opened SEC play with Alabama.

In fact, I would be highly surprised if Oklahoma does NOT have Georgia and Tennessee in their first season with the series setup to replace that OOC matchup that got cancelled (so OU at Tennessee and Georgia at Oklahoma). I am guessing Georgia will be your SEC season opener and it will be in Norman.

If Nebraska got their shit together, they could be playing Penn St that weekend but until then, you get Rutgers.

They shouldn't care by now. Texas won't be any better than either of them once they start playing an SEC schedule every season.

I think a good argument could be made that Texas hasn't been any better than Mizzou or Aggie PRIOR to playing an SEC schedule! Here's there last five years.

2022 6-3, 3rd
2021 3-6, 7th
2020 5-3, 4th
2019 5-4, 3rd
2018 7-2, 2nd

Shocked when I looked those up. Texas Tech actually finished 4th in the Big 12 last year. Go figure.

While I can see that, I do think Texas tends to player stronger schedules than a program like Texas Tech, especially from OOC perspective. Also Texas is in a same spot like Kentucky is for SEC Basketball where Big12 teams do get fired up and have extra energy when they play them versus Texas Tech or Missouri.
 
i wonder what arkansas fans think...
 
Looks like in 2023 LSU plays A&M and Arkansas plays Missouri on rivalry weekend.

That doesn't seem like it's etched in stone or anything
