08:18 AM ET 05.30 | Gary Pinkel indicated Tuesday that Missouri and Arkansas will likely end up as cross-division rivals, something set to be settled at this week's SEC meetings. "I've been told that's probably going to happen," Pinkel said. When pressed on the matter, Pinkel admitted that in a perfect world, Missouri would play Texas A&M every other year, where the recruiting ties they've built over the years could continue to be put to good use. "When we got here, they said A&M was going to be our rival game, and somehow, somewhere it got switched," Pinkel said. But Pinkel made it very clear that he won't be complaining if that's the direction the schools go in.

True and some schools don't have one and I can't see one developing. Texas Tech and Baylor don't really have one that I know of.
Who is Aggie's in the SEC? Colorado's in the 12PAC? Nebraska's in the B1G? Utah's in the 12PAC?

Yes, but given time and a competitive game, anything can happen.
LSU and UF weren't major rivals in the earlier SEC days, but our annual game (since 1991) has become a rather big rivalry in the eyes of many Tiger/Gator fans.

Over the last 10 years Mizz and ARK have been fairly similar as far as the level of the CFB teams they have put on the field. Better rivalry than TAMU, which has been very average over that same time span.

Guess there's a new step-child in town.

They don't have one. I can't see LSU giving up their current rivalries for one with Aggie.

I thought the whole point to the scheduling was to create a 6-1-1 schedule, where you play your division, plus one random opposite division team and one "rivalry" team from the other division.
Heard rumors that they were going to make SCe and aTm rivals, but wasn't sure.

Pinkel has six other conference games also to worry about instead of just two.
