10? Bout right.
…. Not to mention the playoffs .. .bad times for the SEC. You’re going to see more parity in league rankings bc of alternating years of 5 road games across half the league. The 4 roadie half will dominate the rankings.

I know what you're asking but you'll get more responses if you type out your words in English.
I think your top team can get in in a year where they played 5 road games. I think 2019 LSU or 2020 Bama could have had 9 road games and still run the table.

will depend on "which" 5 teams are your road games.

It’s an absurd schedule approach.
There are 4 teams (UGA, UF, OU & UT) that will NEVER have a 5-road game year, so they have an advantage every year over the other 12 teams.
Go to a 4-4-1 schedule for all 16 teams.

how is that any different than the last forever years when those teams never had 4?
or in the opposite years where they never have 5 true home games?

Home field usually translates to an additional 3-points to the home team in the spread, which yields about an additional 7% chance of winning.
Of course, the greater factor for computing percentage chance of winning is the opponent.
Accordingly, one half of the SEC having one additional away game should not have a particularly large impact on determining which two teams go the SECCG.

They will also never have a 5 home game year, so it evens out.

The way you have this worded is very poor.
I agree with you that it will be more difficult for the teams that have 5 SEC Road games in a season to make the SEC Championship but there are going to be years where teams are down where 5 Road games are not nearly as difficult as it seems prior to the season. It might not be every season someone with 5 SEC road games makes the SEC Championship but it won't be a seldom as you think.

With the right mix of the other 4 road opponents, LSU could make it in a year it has to play at Arkansas. Same for Alabama if Auburn stays down.
