[quote]Incredibly well done. I'd be for it 100%. Awesome job. [/quote]
Glad to hear it! :cheers:
[quote]However... You may want to look at it if the expansion was more west than east... I could see TCU, Houston or TCU Baylor... Give Vandy a couple of Private schools and make one of them their...

[quote]Please, no permanent opponents from other pods. THAT'S where the unfairness is in this system. Otherwise, I like it a lot.[/quote]
I'd be fine with dropping those and playing everyone every 2 years, but there's just no way to preserve rivalries without them. Look at what has already happe...

[quote]This is how I would determine the SEC Championship game:
The years that the SEC East plays the SEC West, the team with best overall record in those 2 divisions goes to ATL.

[quote]The fact that Tennessee's 1998 championship makes them a more valuable win than a win over Ole Miss as a tier 4 team makes this absurd. It doesn't matter what your team did 20 years ago. Has no bearing on how good your team is today. Perhaps you should just rank the coaching and recruiting cl...

[quote]The permanent opponents from other pods should be based off of historical rivalries, but with all teams permanent opponents tiered. LSU having to play Tenn, Bama, and UF every year is ridiculous. Especially when Arkansas is playing Vandy, Ole Miss, and South Carolina. Should be equal across t...

[quote]I like your work. Overall its not a bad plan. While protecting rivalries is VERY important, the problem with this is that its creating major imbalance with SOS.
For example. Compare your example schedules for Ole Miss & LSU. Both would play Bama, Tennessee, Arkansas, and South Carolina in...

Posted by Azul on 11/13/15 at 10:24 am
I agree that it would be an unbalanced pod this year, but I tried to take a long-term view when creating them. Just because it would be stacked this year doesn't mean that historically they wouldn't have been pretty even. And trying to always keep them even is impossible -- look at SEC East vs. SE...

This just ends up with each pod being all over the place geographically. I tried to create cohesion in the pods by making them as contiguous as possible and trying not to split them up. ...

Posted by Azul on 11/13/15 at 10:20 am
Yeah I think 5 would be too many. Do 4 conferences with 16 teams, with semi-finals for their playoffs. Expand playoffs and give conference champions an auto-bid and a bye to start the playoffs. That would be a damn good system that didn't dilute the importance of winning one's conference while al...

re: SEC Realignment Proposal
Posted by Azul on 11/13/15 at 10:09 am
Yes, they would, since Ole Miss and Bama are in the same pod. Honestly, I really considered switching the Bama and Ole Miss annual opponents so Ole Miss played LSU and Bama played Arkansas, but since I'm an LSU fan I didn't want it to be biased. I'd certainly be willing to revisit the annual oppon...

But that defeats the entire purpose of adding NC State and VTech - which is to use each school to open a large TV market and increase revenue. Might as well just add Florida State and Clemson at that point....
