In his mailbag column in the Athletic:

quote:
The SEC office has been getting pushed by several schools in the past year to consider adopting a pod system that would set three fixed rivals for each school and then use a rotating schedule for the rest. The two best teams would play in the conference title game, and every team would play every other team at least twice every four years. A player who spent four seasons at a school would play in every stadium in the conference.
When I wrote about this subject in October, I asked around to get a sense of who would support such a plan and who would oppose it. Essentially, the schools in the West division and Florida would be in support.

So Vandy, Kentucky, Mizzou, Tennessee, and UGA are scared that a more rational schedule where you actually get to see all your conference members will be too difficult ehh?

Shocker, the only championship level team in the east who plays a real west team is the only one in support.

I mean it sounds great; but I reserve judgment until I see which 3 permanents we draw!!

When are they just going to do it and get it over with?

Those opposed: the bottom feeding dregs such as Kentucky, Vandy, Tenn, Mississippi State etc.

This guy has a I.D. 10 T problem. If anything the SEC should add 2 more teams and make 4 divisions.

Should have been done years ago

That would be good. We could stick to our fiercest conference rivals this way in Vandy, Ole Miss, and Arkansas.

Most SEC fans are too oblivious to figure this out.

It makes the most sense from a competitive standpoint. It also increase value and interest for fans.

It’s the next logical step.

I like divisions (other than Auburn should be in the East). Basketball should go back to divisions.

I don't understand what "problem" this is trying to solve?
