re: In Favor Of Scrapping Permanent Cross Division Games?

That's not my point.
Divisions gives 7 teams, I think, 5 common opponents, which makes ranking them easier. That leaves 2 teams from the other division on the schedule.

However, I know DSOR, WLOCP, TSIO, IB, Egg Bowl, TN/Vandy, etc. AREN'T going away. Therefore, UGA has 2 slots always taken, so does Ala., Aub., & Tn.. Fl., Vandy. & both Miss. used 1 slot.

So we have this:
4 with 6 openings
4 with 7 openings
6 with 8 openings


Give me a FAIR & BALANCED schedule format that everybody rotates evenly.

My point is there's a HIGH probability that of not having the same schedule as anybody else. So what are you comparing?

Say, Team A has Ky., Miss., MSU, Vandy, & Mizz...going 5-0..
Team B has UGA, Ala., Aub., Fl., & LSU... going 2-3. You're telling me that Team A should be ranked higher because of their record being better...despite the teams they played?
Also, I've given you 2 5 team schedules with NO common opponents.

My ultimate point is going division-less is more complex to sort/rank teams than with divisions who gives 7 teams 5 common opponents & 1 H2H.


& before somebody says "the NCAA tweaked their rules for B12", they also shouldn't have because everybody met each year.
