I can’t be the only one…

Whose excitement for college football is slightly dwindled because of the SEC’s absolute ridiculous inability to do a 9 game schedule this year. It boggles my mind that UT could have a game in Kyle Field or against LSU or even against Texas, but because of a couple coaches being scared and Sankey’s craving a few extra bucks, we have a 8 game schedule that doesn’t make much sense.

Not having a 9 game conference schedule for the next two years is absolutely criminal.

Criminal? No don't think so. Current thinking is 9 game model with 3 permanent plus 6 rotating. How those 3 permanent are set is tough. Having a balanced competitive league is the issue.

Early leaks had Alabama's 3P games against LSU, Auburn, and Tennessee.
How does that measure up to against a possible Georgia's 3P of Florida, Auburn, and Kentucky or Tennessee. Texas already wants permanent with AR, OU and Texas A&M.

I'm sort of with you. At this stage I'd rather the SEC go to 20, then split the conference back into divisions of 10 with one division being pre-1992 SEC and the other all of the post-1992 additions. 9 game round robin in the division, then the two winners can play for the conference title.

Honestly? Who cares at this point? I have a bad feeling we are gonna see more new members in the next few years after the ACC implodes anyway

Really don't mind the league just laying back a bit to see what happens before fully opening the kimono.

Would rather see one big drastic change all taking place at one time than a few years of ping-pong changing rules

That is... quite the image!

Reminds me of Rush's kimono phase.

If we go to 9 probably won’t see as many games like UT/NC St, AL/Wisc, TX/Mich or LSU/USC. So I think it would be a trade off.

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

We probably have the 3rd best schedule in the SEC behind Mizzou and Ole Miss.

I feel we do no worse than 4th in SEC this season.

If Georgia gets those three I would hope florida becomes the florida of the 90s. I'm just an older than dirt fan that misses the old pre Missouri ,Arkansas Texas AM days, get off my lawn

They could split us into 2 divisions and call one division "Leaders" and one division "Legends"
