what is the solution to schedule inequity? (serious question)
Posted by Billy Ray Valentine on 5/1/14 at 1:12 pm11
Miles comment (per DandyDon):
Does anyone really know how Miles thinks scheduling should go? Has he ever come out & given a proposed solution? Or any other coach for that matter (legitimate solution)?
No permanent cross-division rival?
Unless each team plays every other team annually, how can you possibly not have "annual inequity?"

When commenting on the SEC scheduling, Miles said it did not go as he thinks it should. He said it should be straightforward and fair, but instead there is annual inequity.

10 game SEC schedule. No permanent rivals.

6-2 or 6-2-1

9 team schedule, rotating teams, allow teams to schedule SEC teams as OOC.
Only division games count towards SEC division standings.

Each of the proposed suggestions still has annual inequity.
Are any of these proposed by Miles?

Simple; play everyone in your division & have a rotating schedule with the other division. Gives the fans & the players an opportunity to see many of the schools from the other division that we/they don't get to see now but maybe once every 8-10 years.

Keep the current format, but only count division wins and losses to select the participants in Atlanta, rendering the cross-divisional opponent games meaningless, while still retaining the "traditional rivals."

It will only change if Slive wants it. All of the members voting to keep it the same reap benefits in one way or another.

There is none.
People need to drop the obsession with a national champion in college football, and just have fun watching the games each week.

There is a difference between chance being the source of inequity and structure itself. Miles' proposal is 8 games and no permanent xdiv rival.

The only way to make it even close to equitable is to make only division games count and go up to at least 3 cross-divisional games.
Teams then have 3 non-conference games they can schedule which can include their "traditional rival".
In the end, that is the only way short of no SEC championship game, and playing 13 regular season only SEC games in a round robin.
Even that won't be equitable since any given year each team may have the easier home or road schedule.

The only thing the permanent crossover does is prevent an equitable schedule over a certain time period. If LSU doesn't play Florida and win in 2007 they don't play for the national title - it's that simple.
If Tenn was the Tenn they were back in the 90's than Bama's schedule would be a lot tougher - the major whining is that while Bama is benefitting from a down Tenn program right now and LSU has played a far better Fla over that same time period, that one game can be the difference in getting in the SEC title game and in the years when LSU has to play UGA, which conveniently they had to last year before all the UGA injuries it was not equitable to Bama playing UK.
In the long run it should balance out and Tenn should get back to what they were and Saban won't be at Bama forever.

You can never find an answer then. Mine acknowledges that there will be inequity and adjusts for it

If you play 3 cross-div games, much easier for schedule makers to effectively create some form of scheduling parity (whether they would or not is another story).

That's the definition of inequity.

At least it's not institutionalized inequity

You rotate in 2 different East teams each yr until you have played all East team and then you start over again. How hard is that?
The reason things stay the same is more teams than not like their competitive edge the current format gives them. This "tradition" BS is simply the cover they use. If tradition was kinda over riding thing to the SEC, A&M and Missouri wouldn't be in the SEC and SEC games would at night in TS.imo

Well, there are 7 teams in each division now. I don't know what kind of system of rotation needs to occur but there needs to be one. Bring in a third-party to consult on it, because we can't trust the Gumps/Auburn folk in the SEC office to come up with something as far as we can throw them.
