re: SEC leaning towards 1 division

Will this eliminate the SECCG?

Won’t be Bama 100%

Don’t be so sure, we just had the highest rated ESPN game of the season with Bama. That talks more than anything we discuss here.

You’re pulling this top 6 requirement out of your arse

So you think Texas, Oklahoma, Georgia and Florida are going to sign off on a schedule that gives preferential treatment to Alabama and LSU? Auburn and Tennessee are going to go along with making things easier for Alabama? A&M, Ole Miss and Arkansas are going to approve advantaging LSU and Bama?

You’re just wrong

I bow to your well thought out and superior argument.

Each team could have their own custom setup

Custom setup? Vandy better get ready for a 15 game season every year. Every other team in the SEC will put them in their “custom” schedule.

The way I’ve understood it, the eight top tier teams would have two other top tier permanent opponents and one bottom tier permanent opponent.

It would be reversed clearly for the bottom tier

My guess: top tier is Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Florida, Auburn, Oklahoma, Texas, and Tennessee….all have won National titles this century except Tennessee which won one in ‘98 I believe.

But also, other than LSU, Oklahoma, Alabama and Georgia, each has had a prolonged period of irrelevancy this century.

In any case, if the tier concept is true, I hope the tiers can change over time. Since the cycle is a four year cycle, it would be cool if the changed every four years. That makes the permanent opponents semi-permanent I suppose.

LSU’s permanents are hard to predict I think. My best guess is a Texas school, a Mississippi school, and either Florida or Oklahoma

Back to the good ole days

LSU: Ole Miss, Texas A&M, Florida

I like it. Could be a little too easy though if Lane bolts, Sunbelt Billy is in over his head, and 3&7 doesn't find a way out of that horrendous contract (Thanks Scott W)

I still wish we would get Alabama every year though.

How long before the SEC breaks up to become two eight team conferences. We can call one the Southwest Conference with Texas, Texas A & M, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, LSU, Ole Miss, & Mississippi State.
