Expansion is really pissing me off.

Been saying this for awhile now that college football could lose it's regional and current place due to expansion, NIL, and current portal rules.

I already hardly watch the NFL as it is. I would hate to lose the college experience completely.


I just saw the thread about Hugh Freeze may have let a scheduling info slip out.

I assume this is in relation to Clemson begging to come into the SEC?

I know the SEC wants NC, which is a huge "meh" for me. I would like to have GT back and Miami/FSU would be ok. Not really big on Clemson, either. Absolutely nobody else in the ACC I would want, ever.

But to the point, if we got to either 18 or 20 schools, yea, we'd have to go with a 1-8 or 1-9 model (depending on how many of those beggars we let in). Bama would be the only school we'd play every season. I mean, to play GT/FSU/Miami in a rotation, I'd live with it. But F Clemson, NC, VT, and the other schools in that conference. Let 'em eat cake.

it all depends what SEC does, if it goes to 1-7 model we will play uga twice every 4 years. If it goes 3-6 model (going to 9 conference games) we will keep uga every year.

You know, I flat out forgot that the SEC could still go to a 1-7 model and we could lose the Georgia game without letting in any of the ACC beggars. I've been assuming a 3-6 was inevitable. So, yea, you're right. We don't have to expand beyond the (soon to be) 16 to still lose the ugly pups annually.

And with the specter of ACC schools crawling aboard, it does make sense to go with a 1-7. It will be easier to expand the schedule accommodate more teams from there. frickindamnit.

Playing some 4-D chess I hope

What does 1-7 model and 3-6 model mean?


I highly doubt the SEC would allow the seperation of the oldest rivalry in the south. I mean at this point I am surpised the people are not more vocal with the negative feedback leading up to today. But they can push it until it breaks and that would spell bad news all for what? Conference realignment?

On the rant

Unless we expand again, one of these will be the model going forward starting in 2025.

...and until ESPN renegotiates royalties for a 9 game schedule, we're likely to be playing 8 games. I suspect that that will eventually change to a 9 game conference schedule once the $ is worked out.

Thanks.

Yeah this sucks
