SEC scheduling question
Posted on 11/7/12 at 8:36 pm

why wouldn't the SEC adopt a hybrid scheduling system from the east that would make things a little more fair.
For example, keep a permanent "rival" but also make the 2nd team you play change every year based on where you finish in division.
i.e. #1 SECW team plays #1 SECE team and so on
This alabama schedule for 2013 is a joke - this would even it out some.

That whole freaking sacrosanct unbreakable "rivalry" with Tennesee deal is such a load of crap.

Because the games are for the fans. At some point, people want to travel to Nashville, Lexington, Columbia, etc.

Damn.. pretty good point.. I'm not sure how no one has ever thought of that before

So if Florida and LSU win their respective divisions, who would they play in their other game?

That's the whole point.

It's simple:
8 game schedule. No divisions. No 'permanent' opponents.
Each school would play:
3 teams each year for four years
5 of the 10 other schools would rotate onto the schedule for a home and home for two years
5 remaining schools rotate home and home for the next two years in this four-year cycle.
Top 2 records go to Atlanta (tiebreakers would be necessary)
Then, switch out the three four-year schools and start over.
In this system, each school would play every school in the conference at least twice every four years. To placate Bama, TN, Aub, and GA, the longest any school would go without playing the other would be two years.

when we had less teams things were more equitable. now it seems like georgia and bama skate most years. there are big stakes in sec football and bama missing florida, georgia and usc is bull shite. same with georgia missing lsu, bama and good team #3.

For 2013, the right thing to do was make LSU play Kentucky and Alabama travel to Georgia.

Because of this.....The last time Bama played good teams from the East they finished out at 9-3.

Honest, and probably dumb, question,and I'm sure the answer is somehow 'money', but:
Why can't the SEC teams all play each other except for maybe one OOC game? Yes, I know we now have too many teams, so go with play 11 conference opponents, leaving two out each year, rotating.
Or, even better, play all 13 conference opponents and ditch the conference championship game - that way, no one 'sits home on the couch', you still get a conf champ, no whining about who plays the harder teams, and one more game for everyone instead of just the two top teams. I mean, you're asking some teams to play 13 games - why not all of them?
I know - no OOC games won't fly with some schools where they have an in-state rival (UF, FSU, UGA, GaTech).... maybe they can have a preseason exhibition...haha.

That makes too much sense for the SEC higher ups to adopt
They cater to much to old tradition that needs to go since you've expanded the conference
