this would not only be logically stupid but would pretty much kill the SEC as we've known it for nearly 100 years. It is baffling why anyone would think this is the best method instead of having 3 permanent opponents.

Because outside of Georgia, Bama, Florida, Auburn, and UTe, who has 2 true rivals?

I want 3-6 personally but I see why some schools like USC, Kentucky, Arkansas, State, Mizzou, would want 1-7

In 15-20 years the SEC will more closely resemble the NFL than it will the SEC of 1970

So you play your “rival” every other year. What’s the problem?

I think saying it would “kill the SEC as we’ve known it” is an overreaction, but 100% agree a 3-6 format is the way to go.

Disagree. LSU hasn’t played in Athens since 2013. Tennessee hasn’t played in Baton Rouge since 2010.

It makes no sense to not have conference members play one another more than once or twice a decade, just so UGA can have its annual “rivalry” games with UF, Auburn, and Tennessee.

Agreed this is some really stupid shite. I grew up an SEC fan and there is too much history to just throw it away with 1-7

We are already on a downward spiral.

How in the world will this kill the SEC?

I thought it would be 3-6 also but someone much smarter than me pointed something out that I never considered.

The SEC has a new contract with ESPN. Obviously the Conference would expect to get paid for a extra league game and ESPN would be under no obligation to so. The Schools will want to be be paid for that extra game to make up for the lost home game every other year.
