Stop with the permanent games already. They're terrible. Just rotate the schedule.
call me crazy but history and tradition actually mean something to me. UGA/AU have played every year but like 4 since the 1890s. We're not going to scrap that rivalry just because kentucky wants to see a different matchup.

Auburn to the East and Missouri to the West makes sense geographically.

The SEC should do the roommate switch. And the SEC should require 10 Power conference games. Either 8 conference games with 2 non-conference power opponents, or 9 conference games with 1 power opponent.

Not reading that wall of text but how about we try a 9 game schedule first?
Also, the people you need to convince don't read this board.

Texas A&M joined the SEC in 2012 and womt play in Lexington until 2025. If you had a child in 1st grade in 2012 they will be a college student when A&M plays here for the first time ever.
Thats completely unnaceptable and its just to assuage 4 of you dipshits. The rest of us couldn't care less if you dont like it. Schedule change is coming, better learn to deal with it.

Did you kick LSU out of the SEC?

Let Vandy play in the IVY League or in some easier conference just for football. Then have the remaining 13 teams play a 12 game round robin schedule. Every SEC team every season.

Scrap the divisions. Top two teams make the CCG.

in case you hadn't noticed there are ways to fix this without scrapping permanent opponents. In fact it's been discussed in this very thread.

Except there is a perfectly reasonable alternative that satisfies your desire to play the faggies more often AND keep rivalries in-tact. The Roommate Switch accomplishes both.

Tennessee's inability to hire a competent coach is not proof that they'll never be good again.
Why are they unable to hire a competent coach?
Alabama's last 8 Head Coaches (back to 1957) who coached at least 1 game each produced a team that finished in the AP Top 10.
Georgia's last 5 Head Coaches (back to 1964) each produced a team that finished in the AP Top 10.
Auburn's last 5 Head Coaches (back to 1981) each produced a team that finished in the AP Top 10.
Truly great programs win often despite their Head Coach. In other words, insert a coach and he's still likely to produce some good teams. Mike Shula did. Gene Chizik did. Even Ray Goff did.
Tennessee's problem is obviously not the coach. It's the program.

Exactly. Which is why moving Auburn to the East is not that simple.... Keeping everything the same except switching Missouri and Auburn doesn't really fix the issue of imbalance, and it means either the Iron Bowl or the Alabama-Tennessee rivalry has to end. While I could care less for the 3rd Saturday in October Blood Bath, that's a big rivalry with a lot of history. Any scheduling changes would need to protect those games just as much as the Deep South's Oldest Rivalry (actually the entire South's).

As a Dawg fan you know by doing 10 SEC games + COFH with the GnaTs only gives us 1 game any year to schedule!

Bingo!!!

Got a point here.

& that downside hurts UGA. UF, UT, & KU more than anybody else.

They'll also have to eat "war eagle" crow because they don't want perm c-d games (goodbye TSIO), but they DO want to play Ala. each year to keep the IB.

& the SEC keeping same-state teams in the SAME division makes more sense.
Posted on 10/8/19 at 5:27 pm to WG_Dawg
We can add 2 teams going to 4X4 pods that pair up yearly changing the SECCG teams.
Y1: AB winner vrs. CD winner
Y2: AC winner vrs. BD winner
Y3: AD winner vrs. BC winner
Y4-6: same as 1-3 but sites flipped

The ONLY way to do that & get rid of perm c-d games would be flip Aub. & Tenn..
But then you lose the IB & Tn./Vandy.
&, unfortunately, Mizz. remains in the East.
