I've posted it before in a schedule thread, but figured I'd bring it up here and see what people think of the idea. It'd never happen or even be considered, and would probably be difficult to even pull off, but I still like the idea.

Basically a two year agreement between Alabama, Auburn, Michigan, and Ohio State. They'd probably be neutral site games. Opening week of one season Alabama plays either Michigan or tOSU, and Auburn plays the other. Opening week of the next season, they swap.

Just a fine idea. The two biggest rivalries in football (arguably sports to some people) sort of going at it for two years. Idk, I think it'd be cool.

Might be doable if we hadn't already scared both Michigan and Urban Meyer to death.

I'd rather have a SEC/Pac 12 Challenge personally. Would make for an exciting weekend.

But yeah, that would be a cool idea. It'd be nice to see more collaboration among OOC scheduling.

My only thing with home and home is then it goes over 4 years. I'd love it, but I don't know if it'd be as realistic.

Though I don't know why that matters in a completely unrealistic scenario, so yeah, home and home works.

Or we could do like did several decades ago and have a double header at the same stadium. On a few occasions Auburn-UT would play at Legion Field during the day and Bama-LSU would do that at night. Of course it would be a logistical nightmare to try to pull that off now but I'd love to see them try it.

Like Bama vs Mich/tOSU at Legion Field and AU vs the other in the same day?

I don't know if Legion Field is really the place to have that level of a game. Not anymore.

Even still, I don't see how that'd work unless you mean one team plays twice in a day. Which wouldn't happen.

Though doing it in the first two weeks for two seasons could solve that.

Bama vs Mich
AU vs tOSU

Week 2

Bama @tOSU
AU @Mich

Next year

Bama vs tOSU
AU vs Mich

Week 2

Bama @Mich
AU @tOSU


You could probably ignore the first half of this post. I'm not sure it makes sense. I know what I was trying to say, but I don't think I accurately portrayed those thoughts.

Yeah, I wasn't really being serious about that
