There is no incentive to schedule two quality opponents, though.
The fourth cupcake game is bullshite, and is used to artificially inflate records to keep the conference profile high.
Pac 10, Big 10, Big 12 all play nine, no reason it shouldn't be standard.
There will be 16 teams in conference soon, it makes no sense not to expand the conference slate.

I have no idea why they don’t just do a 2-6.
No one is discussing an eight-game schedule with two protected rivalries because the math doesn't work cleanly unless every team has a designated counterpart that they just never play (which would be pretty funny). 2+6+6 = 14, meaning you'd need to start shifting the rotational opponents in the third year to account for the missing opponent.

Staying at 8 hasn't hurt the SEC yet with the committee so why would they change, at least as long as the CFP is only 4?

This is what blows my mind.
No one trusts their own AD, so they would rather give scheduling control to the conference and then bitch about how the conference schedules games (stacking tough games back to back, when the opposing team has a bye week before their game, etc..).
UGA would be playing Vanderbilt, Ole Miss, Miss St, South Carolina, etc.. instead of Clemson and Notre Dame because we have Georgia Tech.
If you dont want crappy games, dont schedule them.
UGA regularly schedules 2 P5 opponents in the same season.
UGA has scheduled 3 P5 opponents in the same season in the past and has that same type of scheduling on the books 3 more times in the next decade.
Hold your ADs accountable. Otherwise they will still schedule 2 crap games OOC and on top of your 1 P5 (which you should be doing already).
It blows my mind that teams would rather a mindless rotation of ho hums instead of actually going out and facing big name programs.
Honestly y'all should stop playing Tech, there's nothing to gain but everything to lose. They're a G5 at this point.

That’s not a real option at this point. UGA still cares about it, and the rare upset of UGA is basically the only thing GT strives for at this point.

Nebraska/OU stopped playing each other annually and the world didn't end. SEC will be fine.

Big 12 fell apart and this didn't help
12+ game season should be able to play 2-3 most important matchups every year
2 perm and 6/13 rotation also a fine option if we must stick with 8

I don't give a frick what Dellenger says, let me know when Chris Low reports it.

But a great rivalry did; Oklahoma's decision to play in the Big XII South and cease the annual OU/NU game sucked the wind out of the series (playing twice in four years just isn't the same thing) and now all that's left is occasional home-and-homes.
It'd be cool if the SEC didn't run with a schedule that actively undermines existing rivalries, and Oklahoma-Nebraska is a great case study for ADs who think it won't have much of an impact.

YEs this is fine
2 + 6/13 is a fine option,
I don't think the coaches want to prepare for 6 new conference opponents every year anyway so whether is 3+6/12 or 2+6/13 I think you will see 3 of the "rotating" opponents repeated and 3 new ones each year

Yes
I get it, it would make scheduling harder and maybe they have concerns with tie breakers and determining who plays in champ game. However, it appears it would take care of the two most important aspects being brought up.
Keeping 2 permanent games which a few of the schools would like.
And 8 conference games which the majority of the schools would like.

In other words, the reporter wants more clicks, and that, as a result, is feeding you more BS.

I think that is one of the ones where since you have 13 teams rotating through 6 slots that home/away gets screwed up second or third time through

Is is that much of a problem to play one of the randos 6 times in 13 years
Posted on 6/6/22 at 5:43 pm to Draconian Sanctions
The fixation with completing a home and away in 4 years is so stupid. There are 16 teams now. Taking 6 years to do a complete rotation, meaning only 3 to play EVERY team, seems like a no brainer.
Morons. Absolute morons.
