The Roommate Switch is a superior solution IMO. The only quibble I have with the version of it in the image below is that it doesn't do the home/away for rotating teams on consecutive years... I think that is an important thing that should still be done.
Without playing the series on consecutive years you don't get revenge games if you drop the first one. You'd still be done rotating through every SEC opponent inside of four years anyway and God what an improvement (over even the 12 team system) this would represent.

Within 5 years there will be a 9 game schedule maybe sooner with the new playoff just give it time.

As a Mizzou fan I am happy to see some of the posters here actually upset about the time it will take to visit Co Mo. I am shocked actually given the usual anti-Mizzou sentiment.
I too hope we move to 9 conference games sooner rather than later. I'd much rather play any of the teams from the West than the likes of Toledo or Indiana (non-con foes this year).

I'm glad this thread is still going. Fans of other schools, please show this to your pussy ADs and coaches who are afraid to play more than 8 conference games and tell them the fans have spoken.
It's awesome how bama fans think they led the charge in telling everyone this schedule wouldnt work when it was actually LSU. And everyone shite on LSU about it too.

Drop permanent cross division opponents! THAT is the solution
No it isn't the fix is simpler. Just drop the crappy opponents that litter the OOC for nearly every sec school and play 9 or 10 sec opponents
quote:it was 13-1 vote and Saban was pretty vociferous about it, so it's a very good bet he was the 1.
Where is this list of coaches and how they voted upon this matter?
Dropping the permanent with 2 rotating cross-divisional games help increase the frequency of going to other division's campuses.

It's really not that hard to understand why 6-1-1 is retarded unless you're an idiot
Go to 6-0-2 at the minimum. If Barn/UGA, Bama/UT, OM/Vandy, & MSU/UK still want to play every year, they can schedule each other as non-conference games in years where they don't meet in conference play.

if yall want to play teams more often, just schedule them in non conference games. see how this works?

The problem with the 6-1-1 model, that if a permanent opponent is in a historical spiral (like UT is), the other permanent opponent has one easier conference game each year than the other teams in the division, thus allowing that team more easily to win the division and make the SECCG appearance. If the SEC were to move to a 6-0-2, that advantage is minimalized over the long haul. With non-conference scheduling of UGA/Barn or UT/Bama the rivalry is preserved.
And if the SEC had been really concerned about preserving tradition, A&M & Mizzou would have never been added.

good thing, stuff like that is cyclical and we dont schedule on a year by year basis

other teams like their rivalry as well, besides these two games

I don't think you understand my point
quote:

OM/Vandy & MSU/UK just want to preserve an easier schedule for their programs. They are not concerned about a "rivalry" game.
quote:

That's truth. The SEC didn't mind seeing the UT/A&M series end in the name of earning more money. The SEC trampled on tradition when it ended the Aubrun/UF and LSU/UK series. I don't see why the SEC is interested in protecting certain traditions or rivalries now but wasn't in the past.

And this is why i dont want to play Uf every year. It has nothing to do with a harder schedule. Not playing everyone in your conference in 4 years is fricking retarded. They couldnt even get the rotation rt, we played kentucky in 2011, why the frick are we playing them again?
Get rid of permas or go to a damn 9 game schedule. I cant believe the premier conference in college football cant get the scheduling rt.

Why dont you schedule uga in a non conference game? It would be easier for 2 teams to have a game than 14 teams have to schedule around your one fricking game. Oh its because those schools play in the sec and should be rotated every year like every other conference in college football. Even the NFL rotates teams out of ur division.

It is, it completely blows away 6-0-2, 6-0-3, 6-1-2, 6-1-3, etc. or any other 8, 9, or 10 game schedule solution. It really is the best solution and it sucks because every is too busy screaming about horrible 9 and 10 game, 6-1-2 and 6-0-2 solutions that all suck.
ROOMMATE SWITCH people, get on board. Perfect solution.

Jesus, we have to wait until 2019 to play UF again?

This is a worse solution. Why should UGA-AU have to throw out 120 years of tradition because you want to cry about UF? The 9 game schedule doesn't solve anything, it just makes things worse.
Roommate Switch >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> all other schedule solutions.
The discussion shouldn't even include 6-1-1 or 6-1-2 schedules, they suck just as bad as the rest. The discussion should only be, "when are we going to the Roommate Switch". It's the best solution around, has been around for like 4 years and still so few people mention it, it is frustrating. The SEC office needs to see it, the presidents and ADs need to see it and understand it, and the SEC needs to use it.
And as a bonus, the way the schedules are set up on the site, LSU actually has one of the easiest schedules almost every year. So it should take care of that problem too.

If LSU's issue is not playing the teams in a timely manner, then why dont they schedule them. LSU seems to be the only one with this problem. it would be easier for one team to schedule those games then the other teams that want to preserve their division rival. see how this works?
