Why can’t those games be played OOC? Serious question.

The next decade Alabama and Georgia (and I'm sure others will) have set up great OOC schedules with 2-3 interesting P5 opponents every season.

So now we're gonna have to drop 1 of those for a usual game or play 11 or 12 P5 opponents? It's just stupid. There's no reason to do this. There plenty of alternatives that vastly improve the regularity of games between everyone in the league without destroying games that 1/3 of the conferences programs have cared about for 100+ years.

It would be one thing if it was this or nothing. But that's not the situation.

They can be treated as OOC games, but I wonder how that works in practice. So they'd be OOC except in years where they fall on the rotation? Seems dumb to me

Not to mention, creating that will cause a big problem in marquee OOC games already on our schedules.

I've said it before, but this continued expansion is/was dumb. Conferences don't need to be this big

Because they are CONFERERNCE games and should be played as such. Not a meaningless game that has no effect on the conference. It needs to have an impact on the SEC.

Why can't an SEC rivalry against an SEC team be played yearly?
