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

No one is discussing an eight-game schedule with two protected rivalries because the math doesn't work cleanly unless every team has a designated counterpart that they just never play (which would be pretty funny). 2+6+6 = 14, meaning you'd need to start shifting the rotational opponents in the third year to account for the missing opponent.

YEs this is fine

2 + 6/13 is a fine option,

I don't think the coaches want to prepare for 6 new conference opponents every year anyway so whether is 3+6/12 or 2+6/13 I think you will see 3 of the "rotating" opponents repeated and 3 new ones each year
