The easy answer would be for the rotations that started last year giving Western teams home games just get moved to the Eastern home school. That would require the least amount of tweaking.

But as mentioned I suspect that the MU football staff probably pushed hard for keeping their tie with us to get a game every other year in Texas for recruiting purposes.

Per Pat Dooley at the Gainesville Times.

Okay, here's an example:
UGA – 6 games (Florida, Kentucky, Mizz., SC, Tenn., Vandy)
1 cross division rival (Auburn)
1 rotating western opponent (Alabama, Arkansas, LSU, Miss., MSU, TA&M)
——————————————————————————————————-
8 game conf. schedule

If the rotating teams are supposed to be H/A, it's going to take 12 years to complete. & do you play the same team back to back before moving on?

This format will take until the 2024 season which, hopefully, we'll be up to 16 teams. Upon that event comes the big discussion of how to break down the conference for sporting events.

Florida – Mississippi (A) / Auburn (H)
Georgia – Alabama (A) / Mississippi (H)
Kentucky – Arkansas (A) / LSU (H)
South Carolina – LSU (A) / Mississippi State (H)
Tennessee – Mississippi State (A) / Arkansas (H)
Vanderbilt – Auburn (A) / Alabama (H)
Alabama – Vanderbilt (A) / Georgia (H)
Arkansas – Tennessee (A) / Kentucky (H)
Auburn – Florida (A) / Vanderbilt (H)
LSU – Kentucky (A) / South Carolina (H)
Mississippi – Georgia (A) / Florida (H)
Mississippi State – South Carolina (A) / Tennessee (H)

I would really like to see Missouri and Arkansas play every year, but I can't stand the idea of only playing some teams once every decade (that's not a conference game). Do that and you'll end up playing someone while they're good, only for them to be terrible for the next decade, or vice versa.

If that is Missouri's schedule, it's not that different then the one Georgia had this year. It would be an easy SEC schedule, but we all have our easy and hard schedules.

In fact, Missouri might have more potential as a rival for Arkansas then anyone. I guess the Oklahoma schools are closer, but they've never seemed like a rival, for some reason. I would like to play Okie State, however, just because they're so close (we have played Okie State quite a few times, but they usually were not very good.) Oklahoma always had Texas, Tennessee and LSU are on the wrong sides of their states, Ole Miss is too far away from Fayetteville and our rivalry with Texas ended after we left the SWC. There's a lot of commonality between Southern Missouri and Northern Arkansas which would make for a great rivalry.

I completely understand why Missouri wants to play Texas A&M every year, but I'm not sure it's worth passing on a potentially great rival in Arkansas. I think Missouri will find it more difficult to recruit in Texas in the future, anyway, because now there's only one Texas team in their conference and 12 other, very good, non-Texas teams competing for recruits there with Missouri. A yearly game on CBS with Arkansas might do more for Missouri then retaining Texas A&M on their schedule, imo.

If Arkansas doesn't get Kentucky, it will have to get someone completely new from the East. As stated in the above post, Tennessee was on Arkansas' schedule, but they are reportedly getting Mississippi State instead.

So, if the SEC wants to do the least amount of shuffling, Arkansas would get Kentucky as planned and LSU would get South Carolina as planned.

Thought we laid that out pretty clearly in the section just above the chart.

Thanks for reading,

Granted I am not sure TAMU wants to play SC, but still it is a win/win for AK and MU

No clue when it might happen, but I can't imagine the league deciding that it's okay for Mizzou and Arkansas to play once every decade. Same for other matchups.

Eventually, the coaches will be over-ruled and nine games it will be. No telling when, but we bet soon.
