The one good thing from last year was all SEC games without a quarter of the home games being bullshite gimmes.
Go to a 9 game conference schedule. Play your pod and two teams from every other pod. No more never playing other teams and you’ll visit ever SEC campus within a 4 year period.

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

If u make 4x4 team pods, play your 3 plus 1 pod each year plus 1, i.e., 8 games.
That is only 7 games. Would you play 5 non-conference games?
To be clear: 3 in your pod plus a 4 team pod is 7 plus 1 cross over would be 8.

I’m kind of lost on what is perceived as the win for teams that are already in the SEC. You’re already the A+ conference you’re already enjoying the best TV deal. what does this do, make you the A++ conference?I don’t get it. I feel this helps them waaaaaay more than it helps the sec.
And Why are they so open to it now all of a sudden? This reeks of desperation. Like when a family member wants you to loan them money cuz you’ll be a part owner in their new business that you know is a money pit.
Oh and F Texas and that white horse they ride around on.
I don’t have as big an issue with OU.

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.

I'm for it if they go with pods and you play on every campus every 4 years. I don't love or hate texas or ou but if college football is going to superconferences, why not grab two top tier programs? we could wait and get stuck with some middling programs once everyone else gets scooped up.
Lets talk out how the conference title game would work. Ties would likely occur fairly often. I hope they come up with a good OBJECTIVE tie breaker system, not based on polls.
Overall record
h2h
pod record
common opponent
NFL uses strength of victory then strength of schedule in the next two slots.
ETA: you could also tie in the other two pod winners with better bowls/pecking order depending on how all the bowl and playoff stuff shakes out.

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.

No, the 4 4-Team Pods are set up and
1) You play all the teams in your Pod = 3 games
2_ You then play 2 Teams from each of the other 3 PODS = 6 games
So the SEC POD proposal brings you to 9 league games. By playing 2 teams from each of the other 3 PODS, which are set up using Geography for the most part, that means every teams fanbase will have travel opportunities to other SEC teams for road games in all of the other PODS.
In year 1 and 2, you play YOUR POD, plus 2 teams from the other 3 PODS, then in year 3 and 4, you play your POD and the 2 teams from the other 3 PODS that you did not play in years 1 and 2, in year 5 you go back to the teams you played in year 1 from the othe 3 Pods, etc.

You can also do a pod+1 perm on a 9 game sch and go to each campus every 4 years except for one campus which you wouldn’t hit til the 5th year. Pod+2 perm you hit everyone in 4 years on a 10 game sch.

I see it as a 9 game conference schedule
Your 3, then 2 from each of the other pods in a 2 year rotation. That way you are guaranteed, in a 4 year period to play all schools outside your pod twice, home and away.

Yes that could work as well. I think from hearing from UGA, Auburn, and Bama fans, etc, they are all for change, but not at the expense of Charter league members giving up rival games.
So to make the 4 traditional historic rival games work, Auburn/UGA, Bama/Auburn, UGA/Florida and Bama/TENN, you are going to have assign 3 permanent teams for each school.
So Auburn then would play 1)UGA, 2)Bama and 3) for the sake of discussion lets say Miss. State for 3 games.
That leaves 12 schools to account for..
SO in years 1 and 2, Auburn plays UGA, Bama, Miss. State and 6 of the non permanent SEC teams for 9 games. In years 3 and 4, the teams played in years 1 and 2 rotate off, and Auburn would play the other 6 teams.
So in 4 years, every one has played everyone else.
This way you keep traditional rivals for charter member schools and you adapt to the changing landscape with the 12 team playoff, NIL, etc and increase the potential TV revenues with a 9 game league schedule which will provide lots of great matchups each year.

IF (big if) a 3+2+2+2 schedule was in play, some teams would have to lose traditional permanent opponents.
Tennessee has to play bama who also has to play auburn who also has to play uga. You can’t put those 4 in a pod. Too top-heavy.

Tell em to suck it. Stay in that crappy conference they have now.
Posted on 7/22/21 at 2:09 pm to poochie
Will be interesting to see how this plays out. If those 4 can force the other 12 into 2 divisions or not.
Since the SEC Network is carrying the story, there is something at okay, whether or not it’s just a way for the Office to get a feel for the reactions without officially asking or it’s done and this is just to break the ice or being used as a negotiation tactic for something, will be a way to fill the void until kickoffs resume

I think if those 3 teams in your scenario are assigned as permanent opponents, you can play 6 of the other 12 teams in years 1 and 2, then in years 3 and 4 the other 6.

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.
