Unless you're going to rotate the schedule, this is stupid as Hell. It was dumb the way the Big 12 did it and it'll be dumb now.

They will have to. I would rather have a 1-12 format than a split division format. Things cycle through all of the time, but it's been stupid with some of the bye's the West teams have received these past few years.

The Big 12 never did. They scheduled as if there were divisions, then acted like they didn't exist when it came time to seed teams for the postseason. Pure silliness.

That is ridiculous. I hope the SEC doesn't duplicate that.

I didn't mind the divisional format, would prefer to not lose our home and home series' with UK, Vandy, and UF every season, just like other rivals will want to continue to play each other.

I have never understood the logic for the Big 12 to do it that way and probably never will. A rotated schedule shouldn't be that hard to do. I believe the SEC does it that way for women's basketball.

Sounds like they may do that, but couldn't do it this year because the schedule is already set.

It's simple. It's stupid for a 8-8 or 9-7 team to get a bye over a team with double digit wins.

They could figure out a way to re-seed the SEC Tournament (for whatever that is worth) without scrapping divisional format.

I like having home-and-home games against the Eastern Division, and care very little about half the teams in the west.

I don't see any fair way of doing so without rotating the schedule and dropping the divisions.

What's not fair about still playing home and home games with the east and playing each team from the west once and keeping everything the exact same until the conference tourney comes around and then seeding 1-12 for the tourney. IIRC, that is what the BIG 12 does.

How is it fair that 2 teams from the SEC W get a bye in the tourney and aren't even qualified to make the NCAA tourney when 4 teams from the East have better records and make the field? Why reward crap teams a bye?

How come they just do what the women do for the SECT.

It's unbalanced scheduling.

If the scheduling is unbalanced, and the 2 teams with the bye even had an easier road to a conference bye last year and in previous seasons as well... how is that not fair? lol

If the SECW can't pick it up and produce better results, they shouldn't get a bye. Especially when you look at the unbalanced scheduling that is the same now as it is in my hypothetical situation. The scheduling doesn't change at all, so if the scheduling in my situation is unbalanced, then it is currently unbalanced and they are still sucking yet getting bye's!

I wish you would explain in a little more detail TF07, and I apologize for the attitude in my initial response. I respect your opinions whether I agree or disagree, and would like to hear a little more reasoning for why you feel that way.

Thanks,

I don't think it's fair that Alabama gets eight easy wins and two toss-up games playing in their division while Kentucky, Florida, Tennessee, and Vandy are being penalized for playing each other two times. The past few years the Western division has had at least two of the trio of Alabama, Auburn and Arkansas to get easy wins off of, while the East has South Carolina and Georgia. I'm not saying those two teams are extremely tough, they're more of a threat than the West bottom feeders.
