So, under this scheduling plan, teams would play their alternate teams five times every 12 years while still preserving three rivalries. It seems like the most optimal approach, especially if the SEC intends to stick with an 8-game schedule. Thoughts?

I haven't been following too closely. Is this an option? I thought they were locked into 1-7.

Thats 13 games. It’s a 16 team conference in 2024. How does that work?

ETA: I mean different 13 teams.

I’d rather see a 2-6

But a 3-5 also works for me

I’d rather see a 4-4 format, but yes. At a minimum get away from this insane “play every team in a 2 year span” that’s destroying rivalries for the sake of some weird and pointless symmetry.

Any commissioner who doesn’t preserve Georgia/Auburn and Bama/Tennessee should find a new conference to work in.

3-5-5 with 16 teams?


If you go 2-6, that drops the 13 rotating to 5x every 11 years. I know this isn't a balanced H/A format.
