re: Auburn to the East discussion thread

Divisions will go away. You will play 3 or 4 annual games (i.e. Auburn vs Bama, UGA , Ole Miss). (Bama vs Auburn,uT, MSU).

Leaves 10 opponents that rotate through 5 games.

The SEC championship would be the two best teams.

This will take a change to the NCAA rulebook.

As it stands right now, in order to have a championship game in football you have to either:
1) Be divided into two divisions where each member of the division plays each other in a round robin format. The championship game matches the two division winners.

2) Have all teams in the conference play each other in a round robin format. The top two teams meet again in the conference championship game.

Until the NCAA changes the rules, or the P5 schools pull out of the NCAA, your scenario will never come to fruition. Even if it did, how do you decide which teams go the to CG if two teams end up tied for 2nd and didn't play each other? What if three teams end up with the same record and didn't play each other?
