o to 6-0-2 at the minimum. If Barn/UGA, Bama/UT, OM/Vandy, & MSU/UK still want to play every year, they can schedule each other as non-conference games in years where they don't meet in conference play.


if yall want to play teams more often, just schedule them in non conference games. see how this works?

The problem with the 6-1-1 model, that if a permanent opponent is in a historical spiral (like UT is), the other permanent opponent has one easier conference game each year than the other teams in the division, thus allowing that team more easily to win the division and make the SECCG appearance. If the SEC were to move to a 6-0-2, that advantage is minimalized over the long haul. With non-conference scheduling of UGA/Barn or UT/Bama the rivalry is preserved.

And if the SEC had been really concerned about preserving tradition, A&M & Mizzou would have never been added.

Why dont you schedule uga in a non conference game? It would be easier for 2 teams to have a game than 14 teams have to schedule around your one fricking game. Oh its because those schools play in the sec and should be rotated every year like every other conference in college football. Even the NFL rotates teams out of ur division.
