Again, if we have just decided that traditional games don't matter then let's just get rid of this whole "conference" thing. I'd much rather play Texas, Miami, Virginia Tech, Nebraska, etc once every 10 years than travel to Missouri or Nashville every few years.


Again:

9 games isn't going to happen in the SEC because of home-away balance. It takes what is wrong with permanent opponents, and combines a new stupid issue with scheduling on top of it. It doesn't fix the imbalance issue, it only attempts to fix the frequency issue. A solution would have to be 8 or 10 games for widespread acceptance, IMO.

I don't know why you keep posting that. I'm not arguing about 9 game schedules, I'm saying that the only point of a "conference" is a regional league where you play teams regularly and develop a relationship with. If we are going go all OU-Nebraska Big XII on the league and rip up AU-UGA and Bama-UT then I'd rather just rip up the league and play home and homes with teams around the country.
