re: 1-7 scheduling model gaining momentum per SI’s Ross Dellinger

I'm a little mixed here. 3-6 makes more sense historically. On one hand, I don't want to lose the UGA game (regardless of recent results). But, part of me wouldn't mind getting a bigger variety of opponents and having a different roadmap to navigate every year, especially with the newcomers to the conference.

But, I also suspect AU and UGA would probably work it out as an additional OOC game, which would negate the opportunity for Auburn to fill one of those spots with an interesting OOC opponent. So that invalidates some of my curiosity as to how a 1-7 would work, as we'd be trading in conference variety for less OOC variety.

The only thing I truly don't like about 3-6 is that most everyone will get some permanent opponent that is meaningless to them (based on projections I've seen).
