Should division record be the only record that matters?

Georgia plays both Bama and auburn this year and could very well lose to both, but still go undefeated in the east. Let's say missouri only loses to georgia, sorry really deserve to win the east. A one loss division champ over an undefeated division team?

No

If you want to go to Atlanta then win your games. Can't control the schedule, just win.

Depends on your season goal.

For Georgia, their only realistic goal is to win the SEC East, so yes.
For 'Bama and Auburn, their realistic goal is to win National Championship, so every game matters.

Bama has controlled their schedule for years. Just ask any LSU fan.

A year or so ago I looked into this idea, and if I remember right, this never would have affected the SEC West winner. It only would have changed the SEC East.

Yes, but we should go back to a 10 team conference and play everyone.

The HBC was making this argument a few years ago and I tend to agree with it. Division record only makes more sense. That still means Mizzou was East champs the last two years though in case you were insinuating something.

Understand the sentiment, but that is what you get when people are so concerned with "rivalry" games. Same goes for whoever gets Vandy and Kentucky from the East though.

If Missouri (or whoever else) goes 7-1 while Georgia goes 6-2, so be it. Get a different rival.

For the purpose of winning the division, yes division record should be all that matters. It's BS that a if UGA went undefeated in the East but loses to Auburn or Bama that they might not win the East.

South Carolina swept the East in 2011 and didn't make it to Atlanta. Georgia did. Georgia has benefited now they must pay.

They didn't benefit. They won more games.

Nope. They do need to dump this stupid 6-1-1 format and go to a 6-3 schedule with the additional conference game.

SEC has the most retarded scheduling format in the county.

You can't even win the east when Florida is historically crappy, Georgia average to above average at best, SC and Kentucky really shitty and Vanderbilt back to being Vanderbilt. How are you gonna win shite when all of these teams are better this year?
