Report: End of Florida-LSU series near

After a reported meeting of the 14 athletic directors of the now-expanded Southeastern Conference and SEC officials, consider the future of Florida-LSU cast in doubt. The Southeastern Conference has been using a 5-1-2 scheduling format under which a team played all five teams in its division, one permanent opponent from the other division and two more teams from the opposite division on a rotating basis. LSU's permanent opponent has been Florida, and athletic director Joe Alleva said both schools are interested in ending that scheduling staple. Other schools are eager to preserve permanent opponents to preserve cross-divisional rivalries like Alabama-Tennessee and Georgia-Auburn

While LSU athletic director Joe Alleva said that the Tigers and Florida are both ?interested in ending? their annual series, Florida sources told CBSSports.com that the Gators have given no indication they want their series to end with LSU.

I don't know how Nutria feels, but I'd hate to give up the annual opportunity to talk about our winning record in Death Valley with my LSU friends. :sneaky:

Gator, back when the league split into two divisions, do you remember why it was decided that LSU and UF would play every year? Was it simple luck of the draw?

Back then everyone had two interdivision annual foes -from 1992 until 2001. Auburn had to play both UF and Georgia in the years that both of us were stronger division teams, so to make it "fair" but keep traditional rivals we went to one annual interdivision rival game in 2001

From many gators' (and my) standpoint, we had much more of a history with our oldest rival Auburn, but not as old as yours with them.....

So when it was just the one game, they had to keep Bama-Tennessee, and they had to keep Auburn-Mutts, so that left LSU and Florida as our one game from the opposite division. Vandy and Ole [censored] were old rivals. They tried to keep the traditional rivalries as long as they could - which I agree with. Basically, both in 1992 and in 2001 it was just trying to fit everyone's wishes into the least worst schedule to preserve the most amount of traditional games. That is why the Cocks and Piggies got put together. Nobody wanted them to be the rival because we had no real history with them to speak of, and putting them together freed the rest of us to preserve older rivalries.

I'll be sad to see that game go. Death Valley is arguably the best college venue to see a night game in the nation.

Not quite WoT, but getting there. Keep trying, bub.
