Then do what Spurrier suggested, only divisional games count for a berth in the SECCG

Last year LSU Bama and aTm had a split divisional record. Alabama was higher ranked having only lost to aTm thus they would have gotten in regardless.

I think a tiered system would be interesting, but you would probably have to not play a team or two from your own division to really make it work.

When Spurrier first said this I disagreed. But I kind of see his point now. The scheduling is atrocious. Just look at who gets the advantage with byes and timing of big games.

Bama has an early game against ATM and a late game against LSU; both with bye weeks before them.

ATM plays Bama early but without a bye week. And they fortunately get a bye week before playing LSU and Ole Miss.

LSU plays ATM and Bama late with bye weeks before each game.

Toughest SEC games
ATM: Bama, LSU, Ole Miss
Bama: ATM, LSU, Ole Miss
LSU: Bama, ATM, Ole Miss, UGA, UF
