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.
good thing, stuff like that is cyclical and we dont schedule on a year by year basis

. With non-conference scheduling of UGA/Barn or UT/Bama the rivalry is preserved.
other teams like their rivalry as well, besides these two games

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

I don't think you understand my point

OM/Vandy & MSU/UK just want to preserve an easier schedule for their programs. They are not concerned about a "rivalry" game.

That's truth. The SEC didn't mind seeing the UT/A&M series end in the name of earning more money. The SEC trampled on tradition when it ended the Aubrun/UF and LSU/UK series. I don't see why the SEC is interested in protecting certain traditions or rivalries now but wasn't in the past.
