re: SEC schedule discrepancies explained in facts

I disagree with the perma rival being the problem. I like playing Florida every year. If we did not, to me, it would seem weirder than not playing some other teams in the West every year.

The SEC needs to go to 9 games-period. The problem is that we go so long without playing certain teams from the East. I thought it was too long before expansion (4 years). Expansion does now give the SEC a perfect reason to fix this. Here is my suggestion:

LSU-plays the other 6 teams in the West every year and Florida. So, let's say, we begin with:

1) 2014-----even year so we will play AT Florida.
@Vanderbilt
Georgia

2) 2015
Florida
Kentucky
@South Carolina

3) 2016
@Florida
@ Missouri
Tennessee

4) 2017
Florida
Vanderbilt
@Georgia

5) 2018
@Florida
@Kentucky
South Carolina

6) 2019
Florida
Missouri
@Tennessee

That way, in a 3 year period, we play ALL teams in the SEC at least once. There may be one year like this year where we play 2 top 10 teams from the East and Bama plays 2 bad teams from the East. But, with this method, Bama is very likely to play at least one of those really good teams the very next year (and maybe both), so you would not have Bama playing to crap teams from the East in back to back years.

Also, LSU should always play 7 home games and 5 away games. I think we should also play one BCS non-conference opponent every year. So, with my format above, in the even years when we play at Florida, we play a non-conference quality opponent at home. In the odd years when we play Florida at home, we do a non-conference road trip.

This will solve everything!
