DESTIN, Fla. — Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher bristled when told that Texas has indicated it would prefer Oklahoma be its single permanent opponent if the SEC adopts a 1-7 scheduling model.
“We’re not going to live our life worrying about Texas,” Fisher said Wednesday, speaking to a crowd of reporters during the SEC Spring Meeting at the Sandestin Hilton. “We’ll worry about A&M. That has nothing to do with them. They’re a great school. They do what they need to do; we do what we need to do.”
In a 1-7 model, LSU is expected to be Texas A&M’s permanent rival. In a nine-game scheduling model with three permanents, LSU is expected to play A&M, Alabama and Ole Miss.
Texas A&M and Texas have not played since 2011, the year before the Aggies left the Big 12 for the SEC.
