If Oklahoma and Texas do end up leaving early, then it could be interesting

to see what impact that has on the football schedule going forward. For example, does the Red River Shootout (I refuse to refer to it by the other name) remain the same traditional weekend as the Texas State Fair or does it get moved to Rivalry Week because of how the other potential match-ups shape up?

Mizzou vs. Arkansas
TAMU vs. LSU
Ole Miss vs. Miss State
Oklahoma vs. Texas?

Now if TAMU and Texas are paired up then that could potentially leave Oklahoma paired with either LSU or Mizzou depending on who Arkansas wants to be paired with that week. If Bedlam remains on the schedule for Rivalry Week, then it will be interesting to see who the odd man out is paired up with for an OOC game since I don't think SEC allows teams to have a bye the final week of the regular season.

What is it to gain Oklahoma State by discontinuing Bedlam? -- Maroon Baboon 02/23/2022 5:54PM

Oklahoma State could see it as being a "Pride Thang" which some would -- VTHokie2000 02/23/2022 5:55PM

Good "pride" should lead OkSt to play them and beat them. Just my opinion. -- Maroon Baboon 02/23/2022 6:08PM

FWIW Rivalry Week used to be a 2 weekend event before conferences -- VTHokie2000 02/23/2022 6:25PM

I would have no objections if the conferences decided to go back to that -- VTHokie2000 02/24/2022 1:31PM

That would make sense. Although I you look at Arkansas's football schedule -- VTHokie2000 02/23/2022 5:28PM
