I don't think its going to happen.
I heard it about a week ago, but the SEC network would be loosing 7 games to broadcast. Thats huge money. Slive might have originally thought about it, but I think once they think about it more they will scrap the plan because of the loose of revenue from 7 TV games.
Also, its a horrible idea. The net affect will keep teams from scheduling out of conference "big games". Teams will schedule more like Bama did this year. (Not swiping at Bama's past scheduling - its just weak this year. It happens and its OK.) The schools will want to make sure they are guaranteed 6 wins to get to a bowl.
I like it when big time SEC schools play big time schools from other conferences. Its much better for college football with Bama plays Michigan, LSU v Oregon, or UT v a West Coast team and etc.

You realize that when Bama scheduled the VT game they were coming off their 8th straight season with 10+ wins? We thought we were would be playing a top 10 team, but VT unexpectedly tanked last year

I'm not sure the SECN is going to be broadcasting every shitty OOC game, so I'm not sure it's true that they'd be losing 7 games.
