Would you put that at a higher priority than the Deep South's Oldest Rivalry? Because if you eliminate that on a permanent basis at least, you could see every team with an 8 game schedule.

Or you could go to a nine game schedule, keep the permanent rivalries, and still see the other teams once every three years (two rotating cross-divisional games every year out of six teams).

I'd also be fine with an "option" on the perm rival...teams can have them if they want and if they don't then they can play three rotating cross divisional games.

This is what I prefer.

This is exactly what I think will happen.

The one and only down side is that you'll have one less home game every other season. From a revenue standpoint, the new TV money will way more than offset one game's gate.

The home advantage just can't be helped, but the REC will make sure that UK, State, Mizzou, UT, and OM are Bama's road opponents in those seasons so all will be well there too.
