This is the one good thing about the pac ten is that they do know at the end of the year who was the best team in the conference was.....the only way their schedules are manipulated or favorably to them is the years where they play the better teams at home and who they schedule ooc. Other than that its fair across the board.
To be fair, The team that wins the SECCG is usually the best. I just think that if we had a system in place that took into account conference SOS more, we could have more accurate matchups in the SECCG (or at least avoid potential bad ones).

I agree with you but sometimes a team that may get there to begin with might not have gotten there if they played more games. I believe we play the same amount of conference games they do, we just have 2 more teams, but I think we need to rotate the schedules better. I would hate to not play florida but I don't like that Ole Piss doesn't have too. It has its pros n cons

In a scenario like this, there would be some scheduling issues...as half the teams would play 6 home SEC games, and the other half would only get 5 home SEC games...
That would work if one more team was added to the conference and one more game to the schedule. Convince Fla.State, Georgia Tech, or Clemson to join the S.E.C, then play 12 conference 12 games(6 home/6 away) and open the season with an OOC in-state "Sisters of the Poor" patsy. You'd have to eliminate the East and West divisions and S.E.C. Championship game, but there would be a true conference champion then with everybody playing everybody else......

The problem with going to a round-robin sked is outlined in this article on SI.com:
Also, LSUintheNW, I'm not the only one calling it the Pac-1:

The nine-game, round-robin conference schedule doesn't do the Pac-10 any favors, either. The league's coaches voted last spring to get rid of it, but the athletic directors voted to keep it. That's great for the fans, but not so good for the coaches and teams and the league overall. Instead of grabbing one more easy win -- like they do in the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12 and SEC -- Pac-10 teams begin beating up each other a game early. This hurts the effort to get teams bowl-eligible. And more importantly, to get a second team into a BCS bowl (which hasn't happened since 2002).

But there's another USC streak everyone cites: Seven straight Pac-10 titles. That's a problem, because it leads to the national perception that it's really the Pac-1.

Do you realy think if there wasn't a playoff system , that this format would breed a NC? I think the winner would have too many loses.

If a conference of our size, paridy and strenght tried to play a round robin.........without changing the formats of the other conferences or by adding SOS to the BCS formula, we would be hard pressed to produce a NC team. Other schools would have just too big of an advantage IMO.
