GA tech and Mississippi state were founding members of the SEC and played each other a grand total of zero (0) times before GA tech left the conference. The history of the “conference” has been play your rivals, there was no grand plan to get all the teams to play each other, even when the conference was much smaller and that was far more practical. That didn’t change until 30 years ago with the divisions.
I don’t know why it has to be 7-1 or 6-3. Just agree on total conference games and then lock in some rivalry games, let the rest of the schedule rotate. If Uga has two permanent games but Missouri only has 1 or 3 who GAF. They’ll still all play pretty often.

That'd be nice, seriously, but will never happen because people will want the same balance for everyone. I'd be all for earmarking certain games and then figuring out the rest, but some teams would have more rotating games than others so I'm not even sure how you'd set a system like that up. Especially for the expansion teams that don't have history with other conference members like the founding members do
