Let's see here, based on the current permanent opponent (plus the most obvious new one)

Alabama gets Auburn & Tennessee
LSU gets Florida & ? (maybe Kentucky)
Ole Miss gets Vandy & ?
Miss State gets Kentucky & ?
Arkansas gets SC & ?
A&M gets ? & ?
Mizzou gets ? & ?

The question would seem to be who gets stuck with the two newcomers as a permanent? No particular offense intended but there's still a lot of fans who haven't really accepted Arkansas as a member a decade after expansion, I can only imagine how well fans are going to like newer members (one of which seems decidedly unsouthern).

A&M has played (last meeting in paren)
Auburn 2x (1985), Florida 2x (1976) Georgia 5x (2009), Kentucky 2x (1953), Tennessee 2x (2004), Vandy 0x, South Carolina 0x

Mizzou has played
Auburn 1x (1973), Florida 1x (1965), Georgia 1x (1959), Kentucky 2 (1968), South Carolina 2x (2005), Vandy 2x (1958), Tennessee 0x
