Steve Spurrier has been suggesting that the SEC not count cross divisional games in the overall standings for the past couple of years.

I've been campaigning my model for years.

4 16 team conferences
10 conference games
2 non-conference games against whomever

top 4 teams from each conference play a conference tourney

top team in each conference plays in national tourney 4 team playoff

This seems to be the steps everyone is going to anyway without actually saying it (the Big 12 being next on the chopping block it seems)

Yes, there are some schools that oppose Les and LSU's position on scheduling of cross-over opponents because Bama doesn't want to give up Tenn. and UGa doesn't want to give up Auburn. Spurrier has proposed to just let those schedules schedule these "rivals" as non-conference games when they fall out of rotation schedule. Seems like a good idea to me. And I'm sure LSU/Les would be on board with that.

I like this idea but perhaps expand it to make cross-divisional games worth less...like a win = 1/2 win...or make them meaningless towards division record, but use as a tie breaker...

but it makes sense...if a team beats everyone in their division, aren't they the best team in that division, regardless of how the did with an arbitrary cross-division schedule?
