Which SEC Football Schedule Model do you prefer?

In response to the ESPN article about SEC scheduling format, do you prefer the current 6-1-1, or 6-0-3 or 6-1-2?
I am a 6-1-2 guy. We definitely need to move to 9 games (see 2012 schedule-Towson?). I like playing Florida every year-I would rather play them than some our West "rivals"-its usually a more exciting game. Have 2 rotating games from East opponents and we are where we were before expansion and you have LSU players playing every SEC opponent in a 4year period.
Why can't they do the 2 rotating like this (using LSU as an example):
Year 1: @ UGA; Vandy home
Year 2: @Tennessee; Missouri home
Year 3: @Kentucky; South Carolina home
Year 4: @Vandy; UGA home
Year 5: @ Missouri; Tennessee home
Year 6: @South Carolina; Kentucky home
Which model do you prefer? 6-1-1, 6-0-3, or 6-1-2?

Let's do 6-0-6 plus one non-conference game of your choice for those with big in-state rivals, showcase games, etc.
Eliminate SEC championship game and have a 13-game season for all SEC teams (vs top east and top west only). SEC champ is team with best record, and highest ranked team(s) get into national playoffs.
An extra week of play plus all games being more meaningful so more viewers/attendance might offset the revenue lost from SEC championship game; all games are more interesting because they are conference games; and you only 'avoid' 1 SEC team per year so it's far more balanced than now.
I'm sure this will get trashed - go ahead!

I'd like to see 6-1-2 but with Divisional titles only decided within the division. I think the permanent cross-divisional rivalries are fine as long as they don't determine who wins the division.
LSU-FL is one of my favorite games every season and there's a lot of great football that's been played between us in the BCS era.
But it's not a good arrangement when you can project the SEC championship game from who doesn't play LSU/Bama/A&M (in the East) or GA/FL/SC (in the West) before the season starts.

6-0-3. I hate having to wait several years to play someone in our own conference
Posted on 5/24/13 at 1:52 pm to Smoke Dinardo
what about 6-0-2?
Posted on 5/24/13 at 1:53 pm to Smoke Dinardo
6-0-3. Give the players a chance to play all the teams in the SEC during their career here
7 year stretches between games is ridiculous.

SEC office has a fistful of cash in the left hand and a few struggling "rivalries" in the right hand. One of the two has to go. Which is it going to be?

6-1-2, I'm all for keeping rivalries in tact. This will force the teams not playing anyone currently cross division to likely have to play someone with a pulse

I know it would never happen, and UGA, UF, and USC would bitch to high hell if it was mentioned. But 6-2-2. 10 game conference schedule. No one gets an advantage of uneven home and away games, unless teams agree to a nuetral site(which is their choice)
Posted on 5/24/13 at 2:20 pm to Smoke Dinardo
I would prefer 6-0-3 but would be okay with 6-1-2. At least make it 6-0-2 for the 10 teams that don't care about a permanent cross division opponent.

How about we just move Alabama and Auburn to the East and bring Missouri and Kentucky to the West. All Problems solved.

The answer is 6-0-3.
If there are teams that simply MUST play each other every year, than they can petition to restructure the conference to make sure they're all bunched up together Tokyo subway style in the same division...or they can schedule them as an OOC game that would not count towards their SEC record.
Anything else caters to Tuscaloosa...and frick them.
