So, the 2 "best" play for the SEC Championship?

Yes. If in place this year that would be a TN/GA rematch. This is a cream rises to the top model. No more Cinderella's like 2001 LSU.

Will permanent opponents be a thing of the past? Just a pure rotation?

Interesting times.

Probably 9 game schedule with 3 permanents. Each team could have their own custom setup

So, Alabama gets Vandy, Mizzou, and UK as permanent opponents and LSU gets UGA, UF, and Auburn?

It’s a flawed approach. What if we had not played Tennessee and 2nd place tied records at 7-1 SEC? How do you settle, common opponents, schedule strength, rankings? No answer will be as good as head to head or division record.

That doesn't seem exactly workable when every team's "setup" is interdependent on every other team's setup.

An 8 game schedule works best for balancing home games within the conference and allowing more out of conference games. That also helps with more home game $$$ and a padded schedule. Each team gets one permanent opponent with the other 14 rotating home and away every 2 years. This also allows a visit to and from each conference foe every 4 years.

2 have a conference championship game, or just name champ/co-champs based on record and tie breakers. We may not need a championship game after playoff expansion.

In most years a 12 team playoff will get 3-4 SEC teams.

Custom setup? Vandy better get ready for a 15 game season every year. Every other team in the SEC will put them in their “custom” schedule.
