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.
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.

But that's the point - your issue is already being fixed by a 3-6 model. This isnt current model vs 1-7 or 1-8 or whatever.

Sure, but even before we went to a set schedule in 1992, LSU barely played Tennessee or Georgia. They'd play H&Hs then go 6 years without playing at all, sometime shorter sometimes longer. LSU and UGA actually went 25 years without playing each other at one point from 1953-1978. Same can be said for other matchups. Before the 1992 expansion, Ole Miss and Flroida had only playued 17 times. And all these schools are charter members, and the SEC only had 8 teams for about 30 years. So this notion of being in the same conference and not playing every team in the conference often has always been a thing in the SEC
