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?

6-0-3 is the only answer. Anything else gives scheduling advantages to certain teams.

Bama is getting most of the wrath directed at them, but UGA has arguably benefitted even more. SC has beaten them a couple of times head to head, but has had to play LSU cross division and kept them out of the SECCG.

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 still prefer 6-1-2 but would prefer 6-0-3 by far over what we have now.

Just to add to that, if alabama/UT rivalry is so important, what's stopping them from playing that game yearly as an OOC game?
That's how you know its not really about the tradition.

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.

Just make divisional games and head to head the first two tie breakers.

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?
Posted on 5/24/13 at 2:00 pm to Smoke Dinardo
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

That makes too much sense. They are hiding behind rivalry as an excuse. Tradition, lsu whiners, wasn't a problem when Tennessee was winning every year, Alabama obsessesion since the mulligan, blah blah blah. Anything but they know they have it made and don't want to change it.
