Unless the ACC releases them, FSU is contractually committed thru next season. So even if they join, we will most likely be playing with 13.

Letting us play for the championship will be pretty irrelevant. Graduation is going to hit us hard after this season. I love joining the SEC, but losing so many seniors the same year that we start SEC play is going to be tough.

I actually think the other way is better, and not because I thought of it 
. The problem with 13 teams is an inequality has to be created. With the MAC's way that inequality is created in one of the divisions, some teams play more division opponents than others, while everyone is playing 8 conf games.
My way has everyone playing all their division opponents with the inequality coming from some teams playing an extra conference game. The extra games just wouldn't count towards going to Atlanta because none of the cross division games would.
If maintaining 8 conf games for all teams is a priority though, then the MAC system would be the best way.

My suggestion that we would be eligible to play for the championship is by no means an indication that I think it is likely.
I don't believe that will happen because too many inexperienced players would have to play above themselves.

I can't imagine them allowing us to be a conference member and not competing for the championship game.
This.
If they are coming and not adding a 14th team for next year then the West will just have 7 teams for a season or two.

A&M will be elligible and be in the West.
West teams will play 6 other SEC West members and only 2 members of East
East will play 5 other East members and 3 members of West.
West vs East for SEC CG. Not that hard guys.

Doesn't work. 7 West teams playing 2 games each from the East is 14 cross divisional games. 6 East teams playing 3 games each against the West is 18 cross divisional games.

Sorry to be a stickler but that's not possible. You've got every team in the west playing the east twice for a total of 14 games (7x2). You've got every team in the east playing the west 3 times for a total of 18 games (6x3). Those numbers would need to match.

IMO if you add them then they need to be eligible for the SECCG. The best thing I have read so far is the way the MAC does it with 7 and 6.
I don't like (1) having a conference member who can't make it to the championship (2) having conference members play different numbers of games, or (3) having some games against conference opponents not count in the standings.
If the SEC doesn't like the MAC set-up then I guess the next best option would be for Texas A&M to be independent for a year until we can add a 14th member. During that year A&M would play several SEC schools in OOC games (ideally schools that don't already have a "big" OOC game and/or schools from the West that will most likely end up playing A&M in the future).

I guess it's what you see as the greater evil. To me not playing all your division opponents to claim a division crown is worse than some teams playing an extra conf game. JMO

Sure its possible. Numbers don't need to match that way, and it'd be just for one year(or until 14th team added). Every SEC team would play 8 SEC games period.

If every team in the SEC played 8 games (with A&M) then some teams in one division would play a different amount of division games. This is how the MAC does it. That's not what you proffered.

I'm done explaining it. Maybe you should call the MAC and tell them they are doing it wrong.

You know how smart egghead types take sabbaticals?
Maybe Vandy could be persuaded to take a sabbatical from the 2012 SEC schedule ...
Voila! Problem solved!
