re: Letting Mark Womack Fix the Schedules is Ridiculous

From reading as much as there is out there, I'd conclude the 2 extra opponents per school has already been determined. That's easy.

No its not easy. What would be easy is just taking the next two teams in the rotation and adding those onto the schedule. But instead, according to reports, they will assign the new teams based on SOS. Why all the extra work, especially when it creates the opportunity for bias to be inserted.

The difficulty is lining up dates to make it all work. Some games were scheduled prior to Sept 26 and if off/ooc dates don't line up then you can't just "stick them in".

That's going to be the case with inserting any new games. Why can't they just scrap the whole original schedule and start over. You can still play the Iron Bowl at the end of the season. No reason to keep it in November and have Bama and Auburn play another game after the Iron Bowl.

If you build a new schedule from scratch, it actually becomes far easier than building schedules for a normal year. Most years you have teams' OOC games to have to work around. Now you have a very clean SEC-only schedule. Shouldn't be difficult at all.
