re: The current SEC is unsustainable

It's great as is. Keep the big games and just fix the rankings. Make who you beat matter more than who you lose to. But that makes way too much sense

Why do you think Stanley and tenn and uga want to kick out lsu
Posted on 10/25/26 at 10:44 am to FAT SEXY
That is why they are going to 24 team playoff

Apologies if I was unclear, I mean with the landscape next year in the 24 team playoff.
The interesting question is whether the SEC should add two or four teams.
Adding UNC and UVA adds the mid-Atlantic while adding lower tier football schools.
Adding FSU and Clemson would be bringing in better football schools and cultural fits but they’re duplicative from a state standpoint and would be competitive programs that would be more competitive games to navigate annually.
And with four schools what do you do schedule wise? Pods?
Could end up with something like
POD 1:
UNC
UVA
USC
Clemson
POD 2:
AU
TN
VAN
Bama
POD 3:
TX
A&M
OU
MIZ
POD 4:
UGA
UF
FSU
UK
POD 5:
LSU
OM
MSU
ARK
So you’d have three games inside your pod and rotate six others H-H.
Otherwise it’s protected rivalries which doesn’t work because most teams don’t have 2-3 worth protecting.
Bama: AU/TN LSU?
UGA: UF/AU TN?
TX: OU/AM Ark?
UF: UGA/FSU TN?
AU: Bama/UGA LSU?
LSU: OM/Ark Bama?
OM: LSU/MSU
OU: TX
LSU: OM Bama?
MSU: OM Bama?
TN: Bama UgA? UF? Van?
USC: Clem ?
Van: TN?
UK: ?
UNC and UVA lose all their main rivals (Duke, NC ST, Va Tech etc) but FSU and Clemson would keep theirs outside of Miami.

They just expanded the playoffs to 24 teams. You are for sure going to have 9-3 SEC teams make it and the occasional 8-4 one if all four loses are close to top 20 SEC opponents.
You are going to have at least 8 SEC teams every year going forward. How the frick are you going to find more that 16 teams from elsewhere to fill the other spots? That means every SEC team with 3 or fewer losses will be in forever.

All by design
It will eventually just be a committee hand-picking what they think is the best TV match ups

I remember saying this about the PAC 12. The difference then is we won bowl games
Well then you were rerarded. The pac 12 was always a 2-4 team league. Never did they come close to having 8 teams win championships in 2 decades.

Used to be back in the day you took almost as much pride in winning the SEC as winning a natty. I think it is going to go back to that. The playoffs are largely dumb and gay, but the SEC is still violent and badass.

Yeah my school of thought then is the SEC fanbois thoughts now. It’s called denial

Nah… if you win the SEC (it’s the best conference), you DAMN SURE better capitalize on that with a natty or we’re all gonna laugh at you

Happy you found a great coping mechanism.

What I am saying is, Notre Dame is a joke. If you're an Ohio State fan, well, Ohio State has the same number of championships as LSU this century so I guess you have room to have an opinion. Sorry about Julian Sayin and losing to Arch Manning (LOL!).
Happy you found a great coping mechanism.

It doesn’t matter, just focus on winning the SEC Championship, that’s the only thing that matters now since 2022.

Bowl records tell you nothing in the playoff/opt out era.
Look at what conferences produce NFL players. That tells you far more than watching Michael Van Buren lead LSU play Houston in a bowl game.

Just give it a few seasons to catch up with NIL era. This will then lean B1G just as well
Then you’ll find some new dumb argument I’m sure
