That’s fine, but losing head to head seems like a bigger deal than winning one more game against a weaker conference foe.
In a 10 team league, Auburn rarely played LSU and Bama rarely played Georgia.
Georgia rarely played LSU. AU rarely played Vanderbilt or Ole Miss. it was an odd league in that sometimes bowl matchups were SEC versus SEC. AU played Vanderbilt and Ole Miss in three bowl games(Gator, Gator, Liberty). LSU and Tennessee played in the astrobluebonnet bowl one year. Bama played Ole Miss in sugar. Etc.
I guess in the modern 14 team league you have occasional post season matchups like Bama UGA for all the marbles.
At least now the schedule is set. You play all your division and tw from the other.
A head to head win is bigger now, as it should be.
