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.

How in the world will this kill the SEC?

I thought it would be 3-6 also but someone much smarter than me pointed something out that I never considered.

The SEC has a new contract with ESPN. Obviously the Conference would expect to get paid for a extra league game and ESPN would be under no obligation to so. The Schools will want to be be paid for that extra game to make up for the lost home game every other year.
