so the powers that be.....
would never remove a team?
how would adding more teams help?
do any of you agree that we need to add another conference game?
the schedule seemed better when we had two team rotation..

All depends on the TV markets you could add. aTm helped the SEC get into the Texas markets every Saturday. Adding Texas and/OU would not anything to the league except bog it down with more possible contenders and potentially keeping us out of the playoffs or at least make it harder.
We should go after someone like WVU which would add the Pitt market and Ohio plusgive UK a area rival. Then add NC State which would give us Charlotte and Raleigh markets(not the largest but the biggest in NC and definitely hurt the ACC market share as it is the center of the ACC with 4 ACC teams in the state. Would give USC a solid rival as well. Both teams would also get us into the VA markets and maybe as far as the DMV markets with their alum.
Again this is not about quality as it is all about the dollar and market share.
I would also probably move Mizzou and Vandy to the West and slide AU to the east.

14 is difficult to schedule. It appears that multiples of 4 (4, 8, 12, 16) are the easiest to work with.
I DO believe that we SHOULD HAVE gone to 9 games when we added Mizz. & TA&M.
@ 16, I can see 9 games working:
4x4 pods
3 games - pod teams
4 games - yearly random paired pod
2 games - 1 perm. team in non-paired pods
Rotate the pairs yearly & winners = SECCG
Y1 - AB vrs. CD
Y2 - AC vrs. BD
Y3 - AD vrs. BC
You see everybody in 3 yrs. (full H/A rotation in 6).
This way you can KEEP current c/d rivalries & NOT be in same pod.
