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

-- Alabama didn't play Kentucky from 1948-1971, only played them 4 times from 1948-1987. 4 times in 40 years while in the same 10-12 team league.

AU played Vandy 3 times from 1952 to 1985 (34 seasons), and one of those was a bowl game.

The two teams then played 6 times over the next 8 years, but only 8 more times in the next 28.

Everyone here gives AU grief over it's record vs Vandy, not realizing that we played them 23 times back when they were the winningest team in the SEC (17 more victories than 2nd place Bama from 1890-1955) but have played them only 16 times in the 66 years since, when they had the fewest wins of any P5 team.

That said, not playing UGa every year would be just another nail in the CFB coffin for me. I don't care how much they've owned us in recent years (well, I do care, but... )

Do away with divisions and go 3-6. Insist that the schools without a permanent OOC P5 opponent find one right away so that the four schools that do have them don't suffer any scheduling disadvantage.
