If Texas A&M ends its series with Texas, would the SEC try to match them against LSU or Arkansas that week?

Personally, I would like to play Arkansas earlier in the year for a change. Just don't know who we would play during Thanksgiving if it wasn't Arkansas or Texas A&M. It used to be Tulane for so many years but that isn't happening.

Or does the SEC make A&M fend for themselves...maybe the Aggies could scheduled TCU that weekend...

Thoughts?

Honestly, it wouldn't be that bad to play some shitbox team that week. Maybe would could start playing Ark St.

Personally I think the A&M-UT series will continue that weekend after the dust has settled and bruised egos heal a little.

If not I'd rather play Arkansas that weekend because I'd much rather go to an LSU-A&M game and Thanksgiving weekend sucks for that

great point...I never can make the games over Thanksgiving, which is partly why I would like the LSU/Ark game moved to earlier in the season.

Depends on next team added, if its another west team fit I see LSU A&M on Thanksgiving and Ark possibly Mizzou or OU on Thanksgiving

If its an east team, flip a coin between LSU and Ark for that matchup and please get rid of the boot forever

Would love to see LSU vs TAMU square off on Labor Day weekend like it used to be in the early 90's.

Way too hot in College Station for first game of year, plus you don't get to play in cowboys classic or chick fil a classic - but those could come to an end especially if SEC goes to 9 game schedule which they will if Big 10 does

It will also depend on how our current contract with them to play in Arlington for the next 8 years pans out. Not sure if dates are flexible or if conf. realignment was factored in etc.

I would love playing aTm after Thanksgiving instead of Arky.

I think A&M and Arkansas should play in Little Rock then LSU and Arkansas can play in Fayetteville. If this happens I don't care when we play each other.

I hope they give it to LSU. I haven't been able to go to an LSU game in years because of it being on Thanksgiving weekend and I really hate missing those game. That would probably also help us get the game to Fayetteville because the only reason we play the Thanksgiving game in Little Rock is because campus is dead.

I personally like the LSU/Arky game exactly like it is. Usually ending in OT.

I don't care when we play either. Arkansas probably should play only 2 OOC games in L.R. if 2 games need to be played there.
