Could be true. I'd prefer it to play Auburn as few times as possible.

It would break up either the Iron Bowl or TSIO... which is not going to happen.

The rest of the conference doesn't have to bend over for that, and won't.

Bend over? We are moving to a nine game schedule. Permanent opponents are staying. The divisions will remain in their current form. No one is bending over.

9 game schedule is a poor idea
Correct observation. This is being pushed by the B1G and PAC as they play in weaker conferences with no crossovers in the first place. Claiming numerical equality without quality play equality is a sham and should be exposed as such.
SEC should stay at 8 + 1 instead of caving to ESPN and letting ESPN run the conference. With 8 + 1 it allows schools to determine what is best for their market. The 4 East schools (Florida, South Carolina, Georgia, and Kentucky) can retain their ACC games (and SEC supremacy in dual ACC - SEC state battlegrounds - FL, GA, S, and KY)
If the west schools want to follow the East lead, then let them pair with B1G, B12, or PAC schools for their +1 game.
Imagine the +1 rivals if the following were added OOC
Missouri vs Illinois / Indiana / Kansas / Kansas State rotation
Arkansas vs Oklahoma / Oklahoma State / Texas / TCU rotation
Texas A&M vs Texas Tech / Baylor / Nebraska / Oklahoma rotation
LSU vs West Virginia / Oregon / Washington / Utah rotation
Alabama vs Southern Cal / Stanford / California / UCLA rotation

What the frick is wrong with you?? You missed out on the only obvious pairing...

Don't like the 9 game schedule. It's going to end up making the OOC suck more. You wait and see. People who think this will get rid of FCS games are plain wrong. The only thing that will do that is a league mandated ban.

No it's not. It's a tired argument that makes your AD look like a bitch. Florida is not always good. They sucked last year and except for the 2006-2009 seasons they have been an average program ever since Spurrier left.
You sir...are retarded.
3 national titles, I don't even know how many SEC championship appearances, 2 Heisman trophy winners...located in the heart of the biggest recruiting hotbed in the country...You call that an AVERAGE program?
Reading comprehension is not your strong suit. I said since Spurrier left which was after the 2001 season. They have not won three titles and had two heisman winners since Spurrier left, they have two titles and one heisman winner. I even qualified my statement to say except for 2006-2009, which were the good years under Urban. There has been 12 seasons since Spurrier left and in all both 4 of those Florida has lost 3 or more games.
There is no reason LSU should not be at least 8-4 against Florida over those 12 years, but if they are not it does not have to do with scheduling inequities. It has to do with LSU losing to average Florida teams.

And what's Florida's record against Tennessee during those mediocre years?

I think there will still be a thirst for quality OOC matchups. Do you really see A&M ticket holders putting up with no good matchups? We've had two years of it, and the groaning has been astronomical. I can't imagine us ever playing just SEC and double directionals ever again. That just isn't feasible.

No, I'd rather LSU be able to schedule quality OOC teams.

So teams will have 5 home SEC games and 4 road games, then rotate the following year? Gotta love that balance.

9 game schedule kills non conference games. I'm surprised UGA, Flordia, South Carolina or Kentucky have any interest in going to 9 games and would be strong no votes.

It's all good, as long as Bama doesn't have to play Tenn, UGA and Fla all in the same year.

What's preventing you from doing that? Oklahoma has 9 conference games, one of those being a neutral site game, and they are still scheduling top OOC opponents. If Oklahoma can figure it out, I'm sure LSU can... or can the swamp kittens not handle the loss of half a home game every year against a double directional without the whole system crumbling? I mean I know LSU is a chicken shite program given what they did to A&M in the 90s, but y'all would rather play North Texas at home every single year instead of a home and home against someone good? That's flatout embarrassing.
