Do want
9 game league schedule with the P5 OOC rule in tact.
Do away with divisions. If we keep conference title games, take the overall 1 & 2 teams and have them play it out. May be a rematch, may not be. Doesn't matter. It will still put the best two teams in our league against one another.

Nay. If you want better schedules, tell your ADs to schedule better OOC games.

Nope, 9 is to many SEC games and an odd humber. You should never have more conference road games then home games.

Never? Who cares.

If we're keeping the permanent opponents, then we need a 9 game schedule. As long as Bama can keep playing tennessee every year, I don't care what the rest of the conference does.

No. They care far more about an extra home game gate revenue against double directional tech. They couldn't give a shite about uneven home and road. For Georgia with a neutral site game it would equate to 4 home and 4 road every year. It is a complete non-factor.

For those for 9...what about 10? That's really the perfect number for our current setup.
You can still keep permanent crossover games and you rotate the other 3 every year. Will always have an even home/road number and every 4 year player will play every SEC school home and away.

100% for it as long as teams don't drop their one Power 5 OOC openers that they are presently playing.

Totally unworkable with a 12 game schedule.

We saw what happened to the SEC west in the bowl games last year. IMO, there were too many big, emotional games during the season that diminished the performance of those teams at bowl time. Another conference game would just add to that fatigue.

Nay.
Ditch the permanent opponent setup, keep 8 game home and home setups.
Follow the $, the more variety in a schedule the better, do not become a sealed up conference by playing so many in conference matchups.
OOC games make money for the school, the conference and for the opposition's school. The SEC helps many other athletic programs with its members having 4 home games to setup every year.

That's not the reason we lost those bowl games. I'd rather play another SEC team than The Citadel. Posted on 5/12/15 at 8:25 am to JesusQuintana
All of the power five conferences should go to a nine-game conference schedule and should ban playing against FCS teams.

9 is perfect. 6 division games. One permanent OOC game to promote historical parity. One game against a historically strong and one game against a historically weak opponent.

I would lean to getting rid of Divisions and play 2 permanent and rotate 6.

Death sentence for a lot of FCS programs

Couldn't care less. They don't need to have a team.
