Forget pods. Four permanent rivals. Five rotating games. That would still allow schools to play everyone else in the conference every three years, home and aways every six years.

works for me.. needs a little tweaking imo to make everyone happy..
A&M will scream from the rooftops with that schedule.. not that they matter with 1 vote, but they would have a valid beef.
You need to separate the groups into 10 and 10..
Won NC since 1998
Alabama
Auburn
Georgia
Tennessee
Florida
LSU
Texas
Oklahoma
FSU
Clemson
Other 10
everyone else
Perm = 2 from top, 2 from bottom
Schedule = Perm + 2 from top + 2 from bottom
Last game = top/bottom to make it work
So each year, all teams would play 4 from the top, 4 from the bottom + 1 that rotates from top to bottom
I like the pod schedule better though.
Year 1 & 4
Pod A + Pod B = Division 1
Pod C + Pod D = Division 2
Each division would play the same 9 game schedule + 1 permanent opponent
Year 2 & 5
Pod A + Pod C
Pod B + Pod D
Year 3 & 6
Pod A + Pod D
Pod B + Pod C
Easy format and easy scheduling and it can’t get any more fair than that. Just my opinion.

How's that any different than his idea (except for the 1 perm mot in your pod)?
&, pods are about the ONLY format that can create a fair & balanced way for ALL to have the same scheduling. As it's been pointed out: no divisions will (more than likely) result in tie-breakers to sort same-record teams.
