Play your pod and 6 additional games. Play every opponent every 4 years.



I have a sneaking suspicion there will end up being one permanent opponent from each pod (keeps Auburn-Georgia alive, for example) while guaranteeing a few other tasty TV games every year (like maybe LSU-Oklahoma or Alabama-Texas as a couple of ESPN/ABC delights).

LSU's permanent opponents would probably be Alabama, Florida, and Arkansas.

Texas A&M gets Texas and Bama gets Oklahoma, meaning we would get Arkansas.


The only annual opponent LSU would lose is Auburn.

The Big Ten and the Pac 12 both have special caveats for certain schools schedules that don't hold the other schools down.

Indiana and Purdue have a permanent cross rivalry that no one else in the BIG has and all the California schools in the PAC play every year even though they're split amongst divisions. There are no other permanent cross division rivalries in that conference I believe.
