Count only divisional games for the divisional champion. That is the only perfectly fair way to do it.

Auburn to the East and Misery to the West.
Done.
Done.

Keep 1 cross division permanent, 2 rotating and swap Auburn and Mizzou and I am all good for SEC play. Add another 4 teams to the playoff with the 5 P5 champs and 3 at large invites and the world of D1 is perfect.

Bama, UT, UGA, and Auburn will not let their cross divisional go. Nor should they because these four schools > LSU and UF in SEC clout. I don't think the other schools really care.
UF is probably 2nd in clout.
but i agree other than that.
IF Im AD of any school that doesn't get a fair say I would run to ESPN.
no school should have any more than 1/14 of the decision.
Vandy should just as much clout as any other school

The only reason I said move Auburn and Bama is there is no way you are losing the Iron Bowl
Plus if the expansion comes from the Big 12 those teams would fit in the west like a Texas and OU
I would much rather play Bama every year rather than in the title game, the east teams are much easier to play in the SEC title game with exception of UGA due to their home field advantage when they make it.
Plus by the time 9 games would come Saban would be closer to retirement, he won't be there forever.

LSU and Alabama played a game as out of conference. Why can't TSIO and DSOR be out of confernce
Alabama and LSU have never played an OOC game. Only two such games have ever been played in the SEC. Ole Mi$$-Bama in 1980-81. When the six conference game minimum rule was changed in 1980 to read six conference games minimum and maximum.
Ole Mi$$ and Bama already had a seventh game with each other scheduled for '80-'81. They played them as OOC games.

If the SEC goes to 16 teams. I would look for the required 7 game round robin schedule in each division and NO cross division schedule. SEC is going to have to be forced into a 9 game schedule. Will never do it willingly.

When it comes to adding a 9th conference game, everyone forgets Atlanta. That makes 2 teams playing 10 conference games. Throw in the difficult OOC game & that's a schedule no SEC HC will want to face.

perm cross-division are stupid. I'd welcome this change.
WHY is it that ONLY LSU people are against cross-div. games?

LSU/Ala. ISN'T a cross-div. rivalry game.

Bags of Milk How about 9 SEC games & no cross-division permanents? Go to 9, encourage teams to have one conference game at a neutral site. You could even keep Bama/Tennesse and Georgia/Auburn and just have everyone else rotate through like the Pac12 does. Wish they would do something fun for opening week of the SEC season like having a team play the same ranked team from opposite division in the previous year, like an east-west showdown but I know that will never happen.
I've posted it numerous times before - there is NO WAY to only give some teams a cross-div. game & the rest none that results in a balanced rotation. Those without go through the other division faster.

The SEC will never have 5 of the big 6 in one division. AU, Bama, LSU, UT, UGA, and UF will always be split equally regardless of geography. Add Texas and OU then those two will be split as well.

So, you're saying the ONLY time divisions meet will ONLY be the 2 in the SECCG?

Cross opponents are gay. If Stankey leg had any class, he would stop that nonsense.

Please tell us HOW they're bad.

I'm not complaining about getting to play USC every year. We need the win.
Posted on 10/25/16 at 5:57 am to TidalSurge1
Why not just get rid of divisions and keep two or three permanent rivalries?
Posted on 10/25/16 at 6:01 am to TidalSurge1
If AU got to play Florida and Tennessee again regularly I'd be for it. But I'd be for having the whole schedule be random around the conference
