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

Said as much on the Jordy Cullota show this morning. He was in Destin all week and while they didn’t take an official vote, the movement is in favor of the 1-7 schedule model with no divisions, 1 permanent opponent, and roaring the other 14 schools every other year, with a full home and home rotation every 4 years.
Main influences at the moment are around maximizing SEC bowl/playoff berths, which the majority now believe is best accomplished via 1-7.
Some secondary rivalry games would not be played annually under this plan, but with 4 OOC games left they can still be scheduled out of conference if the schools want.
Official decision expected late summer.

I know Tennessee is probably pushing HARD for 1-7 (with their static rival being Vandy).

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.

Because outside of Georgia, Bama, Florida, Auburn, and UTe, who has 2 true rivals?
Eta
I want 3-6 personally but I see why some schools like USC, Kentucky, Arkansas, State, Mizzou, would want 1-7

In 15-20 years the SEC will more closely resemble the NFL than it will the SEC of 1970

May be a dumb question by why isn’t 2-6 an option?

I’m not even sure who our 1 would be under a 1-7. Bama and Auburn get each other obviously, Florida would get Georgia, A&M would get Texas, Ole Miss would get Moo State. I guess Arkansas?

Both Disney and the school presidents want everyone to play everyone home and home every 4 years.

What would the 1-7 schedule model look like?

How are they ever going to get that through with both Alabama and Auburn having two games that have prevented every other proposal in the past to get through? I just can't see AU/UGA and UT/Bama not being played every year

Ole Miss has played LSU and State 100+ times. No one wants to see Ole Miss/LSU go away.

Texas, for one. It would be remarkably stupid to bring Texas and A&M into the same conference again and not have them play annually. Either that or cut a top 10 CFB rivalry in Texas-OU

I don't want to see yearly games of LSU/OM, LSU/Bama, or LSU/UF go away, but I've accepted that whatever model they settle on will be something different than that unfortunately.

I have no idea what that would mean for LSU.
All of our “rivals” have a bigger priority rival:
UF - UGA
OM - MSU
Bama - Auburn/Tenn
Ark - A&M? (Maybe most likely choice?)
A&M - Ark/Texas
MSU - OM
Aub - Bama/UGA (second most likely?)
I guess we can fall on our sword and take on Vandy every year

Agreed but are you prepared to see Ole Miss/MSU go away as a result?

Texas doesn’t get a vote.
Though I could see us getting A&M and the RRR being the annual game

Georgia-Auburn
Alabama-Tennessee
Texas-Oklahoma
Ole Miss-LSU
4 of the most historic interstate rivalries in college football, gone from being yearly contests.
I don't get it.

No way this is the plan.
