Summary:

Bedrock Rivalries maintained ANNUALLY.
Alabama-Tennessee. Iron Bowl. Egg Bowl. Auburn-Georgia. Georgia-Florida. Florida-Tennessee. Etc.
And new annual games like LSU-A&M. Arkansas-Mizzou, etc.

Play every SEC school at least once every TWO years.
Instead of every six years under 6-1-1.

Home & Home with ALL schools every FOUR years.
Gives everyone a chance to host and visit the whole conference during their SEC athletic career or student enrollment.
That’s important for players, recruits, students and fans (Nick Saban’s #1 priority).
Much better than every twelve years under 6-1-1!

Works in either an 8 or 9 game schedule.
Continue at 8 games as long as you want.
If/when the time comes for 9 games the transition is seamless, built-in.

No rule changes or waivers needed.

Two round-robin divisions are maintained for the SEC Championship Game.

More frequent big games for TV and fans.
With games involving two marquee brands more often, continuing the SEC’s leadership in top notch competition and excitement.
Why put so many of the best potential matchups on the bench for years at a time as in 6-1-1 or 6-2?
The Roommate Switch’s consistent rotation formula could facilitate the SEC a greater ability to plan and stagger non-conference slots across the season consistently, to help ensure strong television line-ups each week.

Balances strength-of-schedule.
Steve Spurrier’s priority #1!

Fosters greater conference cohesion, familiarity, history and rivalry between all SEC schools and fans across time.
All schools are either on your schedule or on-deck all the time.
