For most of us, that will suck balls. We already have 6-7 games in ball sweat heat. Now imagine a game on August 21st in College Station, Gainesville or Baton Rouge. Half the schools won’t even be in class.

I don’t mind the games going until late January. I still think the Covid year was the goat because it was 10 straight SEC games and we didn’t start until late September. Every game had a fall atmosphere feel.

That year was not the goat for many, many reasons.

Well if the coaches, ADs and commissioner weren't all fixated on those rent-a-wins... then SEC could damn near do that every season.

Schedule one tune up game and save your "historical games" for the last game. Or kick off the season with a blow win over UMass in week 1, then week 2 have your UGA vs GA tech type games.

Yes, of course I was strictly talking about the football schedule aspect of things

I would like for them to do a conference challenge type of thing in week 0 if they do that. Start every team off playing a P4 team. Some teams can do neutral site, some can do home and away. It lessons the chances we have to sit in 105 degree heat in the 3rd week of August. I'd love to take a trip to Rutgers then.

Honestly doesn't matter where, just North of the Mason-Dixon line.
