re: Permanent rivals - really hurting the schedule

9 Game schedule is coming along with an SEC Network and then you will see teams outside of your division more often.

Agreed, and the 4 team playoff selection committee is going to be too subjective with 5 power conferences and ND, one or two years where too many people feel left out(like this year) and we will expand to and 8 team playoff, and the SEC champ will get an auto bid. It is very simple to forsee. At that point, we might extend to a 10 game conference schedule so Alabama feels like they have a larger margin for error to win the West. You think I'm joking, but I'm not. By 2025 I predict there will be an 8 team playoff, SEC champ auto-bid, and a 10 game conference slate. The next round of conference expansion is going to apply to the number of conference games, not the number of teams.
