re: 10 game conference schedule

I don't mean 11 game conference schedule, I meant 10 conference games, 1 BCS non-conference game, and 1 cupcake.



I see, doesnt change much IMO though.

Changes a lot for the teams in the middle to bottom of the conference

A lot of fans develop apathy as the season goes on and their team piles up losses. Ten conference games is a lot for those teams (by comparison before expansion in 1992) many SEC teams only played 5-6 conference games many years.

Regarding the pods comments? Seems highly similar to what professional sports do to balance schedules while maintaining core rivalries
