and allow top two teams to play each other.
With advent of new playoff, if two west teams are most deserving than let them play in SEC title game.

It's an interesting point. I don't see it changing though.

If you think schedules are uneven now, this would make it infinitely worse

Then you'd just bitch when East overtook the West. This stuff goes in cycles. The current system works.

Well disguised scheduling thread. Still, downvoted.

yes, playing a conference title game becomes a liability in the new format. if they are keeping the championship games they should create 4 majors & take their champs instead of this committee horseshite. if they ditch the champ games they should increase the field to 8

No, but only division games should count towards your conference record

It doesn't matter what we want. If it doesn't benefit Alabama the SEC offices will not change it.

Yes, but 14 teams I too many. As far as finding a real champion, the SECCG is a joke.

The SEC offices are determining which one benefits Alabama. We will let you know when the study is completed.

With 12 or more team conferences, you really need to have divisions.

People just need to understand that just like pro sports have divisions and division champions, there are still wildcard spots because sometimes there are two awesome teams in the same division, etc.

Because you can have the 3 best teams in the conference in the same division. Then the #1 has to play the #3 or #4 team in a championship game that doesn't include one of the top two teams. The #4 SEC team can win the conference when they had no business being in the game. We never should have expanded from 10 team conferences. Just play everyone in conference and whoever has the best record is your conference champ.
