Wouldn't you flip Fl. with somebody to keep both state schools together?

*thinking*

Or would you flip FSU to not only keep both state schools together, but keep WLOCP?


However, per the bottom text, the 2nd option is better keeping Ga./Aub. as "1 perm".

For UGA our permanent would be AUB. So in a year where we play the "west" as our pod, where does the extra game come from?

We'd play the 4 other teams in our pod, we'd play the 5 teams in the "west" pod, but since our permanent opponent AUB is in that pod that means we've got 9 SEC teams scheduled instead of 10. Where does the extra game come in?

I like the pod breakdown in a potential 20-team SEC. It keeps the 10 oldest SEC schools together in two pods and all expansion schools in the other two.

Who would a school play when their permanent opponent is in the 5 team pod they are scheduled to play that season? Giving each school two semi-permanent opponents would allow that 10th conference game to be filled every season. In a four-year period, you will have played both semi-permanents twice.
