Gary Parrish of CBS Sports.com is reporting that the SEC permanent rivals will be different than what was reported earlier in the year.
Kentucky’s permanent rival was supposed to be Florida, but that may have changed.

I just got an email of our league schedule, and the league schedule wasn’t the league schedule they told me I’d have last month. It’s crazy.”[/FONT][/COLOR]

To help you better understand exactly what happened, consider that Vanderbilt was supposed to have Tennessee as its constant rival and Kentucky, Alabama, Missouri and Ole Miss as its home-and-home opponents, but sources told CBSSports.com that Vanderbilt now has Kentucky, South Carolina, Arkansas and Auburn as its home-and-home opponents.
Meantime, Ole Miss was supposed to have Mississippi State as its constant rival and Auburn, Florida, Vanderbilt and Arkansas as its home-and-home opponents, but sources told CBSSports.com that Ole Miss now has Auburn, Tennessee, Missouri and Texas A&M as its home-and-home opponents.[/FONT][/COLOR]

Who do you think will be Kentucky’s permanent rival?
My guess is Tennessee, especially since Vandy’s rival has changed.
