re: The PODS - the one thing you need to know

I think LSU will preserve one of Alabama/UF annually by scheduling one of the non POD games against them. Not sure which one, but probably Alabama.

No my knowledge, you get 3 pod games plus 6 non-pod games. Seeing as there are 16 teams in the conference, a team that plays 3 pod opponents would play half of the rest of the conference each year and alternate.

So, imagine that LSU is in a pod with Ole Miss, Miss St, and A&M.

Year One non-pod:
Alabama, @Texas, Oklahoma, @Kentucky, Vanderbilt, @Florida

Year two:
@Auburn, Mizzou, @Tennessee, South Carolina, @Georgia, Arkansas

Year 3:
@Alabama, Texas, @Oklahoma, Kentucky, @Vanderbilt, Florida

Year 4:
Auburn, @Mizzou, Tennessee, @South Carolina, Georgia, @Arkansas

In 4 years time, LSU plays every team outside of their pod home and @home at least once.
