Thinking this is the setup ESPN/Sankey will want.

Makes perfect sense for their purposes. $$$


Same 9-game model (3-2-2-2). All in-state rivalries protected. Plus Auburn vs. Georgia, Texas vs. Oklahoma.

Pod A
LSU, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Texas

Pod B
Arkansas, Mississippi State, Missouri, Ole Miss

Pod C
Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia

Pod D
Kentucky, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vanderbilt


*Awesome schedule for LSU.

Totally balanced schedule for the top 8 football powers. The two best SEC teams travel to Atlanta for the SEC Championship (highest ranked, season record, head-to-head, selection committee, etc.)...

Our three permanent opponents - Texas, A&M, and Oklahoma.

Alabama gets - Auburn, Florida, and Georgia.

Every other year, we see the remaining SEC teams. Remember, 9 game schedule.

If they go to pods. I think you should not play home and home with pod. I think you play a pod and then you play another pod. When you come back around you play at home or away the opposite of the last meeting. This way you play everyone every 3 years.

We loose the annual rivalry with Florida, Ole Miss, and Bama. But gain Texas and Oklahoma.

But most of the great SEC traditional games remain.

Why?

Top 8 teams are balanced.

5 juggernaut games each.

Bottom 8 teams will still have to play a combination (4) of - A&M, Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, LSU, Oklahoma, and Texas.

Pods give schedule equal weighting.

Pods B & D will always be Pods B & D over a 9-game SEC schedule...

We will get them every other year, and possibly see them in the SEC Championship.
