Using Vanderbilt as an example, here's a possible 12-year schedule vs. the West (necessary because it will take 12 years to play home-and-homes with non-permanent rivals). I don't think they'll do back-to-back home-and-homes, in order to increase the variety of teams played each year.

2015: @ Ole Miss, LSU
2016: Ole Miss, @ Alabama
2017: @ Ole Miss, Mississippi State
2018: Ole Miss, @ Auburn
2019: @ Ole Miss, Texas A&M
2020: Ole Miss, @ Arkansas
2021: @ Ole Miss, Alabama
2022: Ole Miss, @ LSU
2023: @ Ole Miss, Auburn
2024: Ole Miss, @ Mississippi State
2025: @ Ole Miss, Arkansas
2026: Ole Miss, @ Texas A&M

As a fan, I hate that we'll visit places like Baton Rouge only once every 12 years.

Yep

Either fix the permanent opponent or add 9 games. Kind of eliminating the point of a "conference" if you only play a team in your "conference" once a decade.

It could be sped up and kept at 8 games by moving some teams to different divisions or eliminate the "rivalry" games that no on outside of the fanbases in the game cares about.

As a team in the East, with our permanent rival being Arkansas, I have to say I'm a fan of the way it's currently setup.

I've posted this in another thread.....but if you kept UGA/Aub. & TN/Ala. playing each other yearly & rotated everybody else..........you get the following:

UGA/Aub./TN/Ala. = 6 years to go through the other side ONCE

everybody else = 7 years to go through the other side TWICE

no offense, but your opinion doesn't seem to count. after all, you are only a fan. by the way, I agree 100% with you post. the "new" SEC sucks and I will vote with my feet. I most definitely am not the SEC proponent I used to be. give me Georgia, south Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, florida and Louisiana. frick texas and Missouri. no offense intended. 14 teams and an 8 game conference schedule sucks pond scum.
