SEC Baseball Permanent Opponents Revealed, Who Did Ole Miss Rebels Get?

The Southeastern Conference has settled on two permanent opponents for baseball starting in 2025.

OXFORD, Miss. -- It is a wild time to be a fan of college athletics thanks to the new trend of conference expansion and disintegration. The Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma Sooners are set to enter the Southeastern Conference in 2024, and with their arrival comes schedule changes all over the league.

Football will be affected first, but SEC baseball will not start its new schedule until 2025.

The SEC revealed the league's permanent baseball opponents on Thursday and decided that each team will have two indefinite rivals, rather than six, starting in 2025. The Ole Miss Rebels will be facing the Mississippi State Bulldogs and Arkansas Razorbacks annually.

The full list of the SEC's permanent opponents can be found below.

Alabama Crimson Tide -- Auburn and Tennessee

Arkansas Razorbacks -- Ole Miss and Missouri

Auburn Tigers -- Alabama and Georgia

Florida Gators -- Georgia and South Carolina

Georgia Bulldogs -- Florida and Auburn

Kentucky Wildcats -- South Carolina and Vanderbilt

LSU Tigers -- Mississippi State and Texas A&M

Ole Miss Rebels -- Mississippi State and Arkansas

Mississippi State Bulldogs -- Ole Miss and LSU

Missouri Tigers -- Oklahoma and Arkansas 

Oklahoma Sooners -- Missouri and Texas 

South Carolina Gamecocks -- Kentucky and Florida 

Tennessee Volunteers -- Vanderbilt and Alabama

Texas Longhorns -- Texas A&M and Oklahoma 

Texas A&M Aggies -- Texas and LSU

Vanderbilt Commodores -- Tennessee and Kentucky

The obvious loss is the annual Ole Miss vs. LSU rivalry on the baseball diamond, but the Rebels can't not play their in-state rival Mississippi State, and Arkansas will always makes for competitive series. 

The Magnolia State Bulldogs will have the honor of playing the Bayou Bengals permanently and for good reason, as it is one of the most storied rivalries in college baseball thanks to the efforts of Skip Bertman and Ron Polk.
