people cry about it all the time.

that's not a league issue like something fundamental, like SCHEDULES

and again, if y'all want to bring Tulane back into the SEC, knock yourself out.

Or, in the vein of competitive balance, Lsu should only be allowed to sign X number of Div 1 recruits from their own state. I mean, it's about being fair, right?

Basically, the argument boils down to your AD thinks its too hard to win, so he wants an easier path. I'm betting he could get Lsu into the Big12 if he asked.

no, the argument is that it's too easy for a certain other school to win

LSU needs the SEC more than the SEC needs LSU.

Why not just have 20, seven or eight team conferences then?



The point is you functionally already do if you don't play a round robin in a single year.

The SEC crowns a conference champ because there's a championship game but its an imperfect system (better than other options but still imperfect).

Or just man up and win the games.


your coach needs to man up and win his games instead of crying for rules changes. your administration needs to man up and schedule UGA as planned instead of trying to cheat the competition by playing Kentucky instead. your fanbase would be desperately unhappy with the present arrangement if Alabama ever faced a competitive disadvantage as a result of playing Tennesse.

I'm not reading this whole bleeding vagina of a thread but I will post my two cents.I wish they would change it to a nine game schedule.im tired of watching Tennessee Chattanooga and western Carolina or the citadel for that matter those type games suck and the extra SEC game would sell more tickets,concessions and the like.

this doesn't make any sense. No SEC schools are under any such limitation. just having another BCS school in your state (or 2 others if you're Florida) doesn't mean nearly as much as you think it does.

That argument is ridiculous. You're better than this.

It's not like other schools are banned from recruiting here. It has nothing to do with competitive fairness. You know. I know it. Anyone with a fully functional brain knows it.

look at some of the people you're discussing it with. You might as well tell this to a stop sign.

Remember, they all bitched about the SEC Championship Game for the same reason they're bitching about 9 games.


It cost Tennessee a shot at a national title in 2001.

well that's just not true.

some teams get easier schedules year after year

how many "bridge" schedules does 2014 make?

I didn't realize there was a rule that made everyone play UT every year
