Without a guarantee of a pod system, I hope Woodard votes no

I’m all for adding Texas and OU if we move to the pod system. This would allow us to play teams like Tennessee and Georgia more often but also keep the Alabama and Auburn regularly too. If they stick to the 2 division I’m out. I don’t want to be apart of the old SWC and only see Alabama/Auburn at home once a decade

Well said I agree. The financial benefits and competition would be great for the SEC but it has to be done the right way.

We don't need Texas and/or Oklahoma and I don't want them in the SEC... just my opinion.

We already have plenty of name-brand schools ... we already get plenty of national attention and national recruits.

OU/Texas joining the SEC helps THEM. It does make the SEC a lot stronger, tougher and more valuable conference.

The pod concept works for maintaining more rivalries and greater variety of matchups which make for good TV so I think pods will be a given.

Regardless of Pods or Divisions, I am strongly against adding Texas and OU.

Let both of them rot away in the Big12 or Pac12 or move to the ACC and have big marquee matchups with Wake Forest and Duke and NCState and finally give Clemson some competition in that conference.

I think the pod system would be awesome. I hate the current scheduling format because you only get the opportunity to travel to the away stadiums of the East once every 12 years or whatever it is. I think an athlete should be able to experience every stadium environment during the course of their 4-year career.

I agree. I'd hate to not play Bama every year. Even though we haven't won many, it's always the most anticipated game of the year - and Death Valley gets crazy

All I care about is if we change up who we play each year. I hate to face Alabama and Florida every freaking year and Georgia gets a better shot at Championship.

Not scared of them but would like to play other teams and get a shot at the championship and if we face Alabama in the championship then so be it.

Not having a repeat of 2012 again, where Bama gets in off of reputation

I'd rather play Alabama Auburn and Florida every year over playing UT and Georgia more frequently.

I love those 3 games. I'd hate to lose them as an annaul opponent. I think it would really dull those rivalries and leave us with only Ole Miss and sort of Texas A&M.

You need to play every year to keep those fires going.

Does't matter what happens. Bryce Young getting $1,000,000 because he's the Bama QB? It's all gone full clown. College football as we've known and loved it will be gone in 2-3 years.

I think we ought to tell Texas to go pound sand. After the arrogance they showed in the treatment of LSU in 2019, and what their arrogance has done to their current league we should laugh in their face. Plus they haven't really been relevant in CFB in the past 10 years.
