A pod system keeps a good number of the rivalries but also allows everyone to play everyone home and home every 4 years.
How does 3 permanent + 6 rotating not accomplish this? 3 permanent allows you to tailor each team’s rivals.
Alabama and Auburn should play.
Auburn and UGA should play.
Alabama and UT should play.
UT and Vandy should play.
Pods can’t accomplish that.

3 permanent opponents is a pod smart guy, but you can’t make the schedule work reasonably with THAT many moving parts.
I’m not sure even an advanced AI could come up with a schedule rotation that takes into account circular permanent opponents like that.

Pods CAN accomplish this.
Each team has 1 rival in each of the other pods:
A1/B1/C1/D1 rivals
A2/B2/C2/D2 rivals
A3/B3/C3/D3 rivals
A4/B4/C4/D4 rivals
Now pair up the pods yearly
Y1 - AB & CD
Y2 - AC & BD
Y3 - AD & BC
Everybody now has 9 conf. games.
ex. for team A1:
Y1 - A2, A3, A4, B1 (rival), B2, B3, B4, C1 (rival), D1 (rival)
Y2 - A2, A3, A4, C1 (rival), C2, C3, C4, B1 (rival), D1 (rival)
Y3 - A2, A3, A4, D1 (rival), D2, D3, D4, B1 (rival), C1 (rival)
I guess you'ld say mine has 6 perm. & 3 yearly rotating.

Pods are literally just the simplified version of the system you are describing.
Here’s the complicated version you want:
Texas: LSU, A&M, Oklahoma
Oklahoma: Arkansas, Texas, and Mizzou
Arkansas: Mizzou, Texas A&M, and Oklahoma
Texas A&M: Texas, Arkansas, and LSU
Mizzou: Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Kentucky
Ole Miss: LSU, Vanderbilt, and Miss St
LSU: Texas A&M, Ole Miss, and Texas
Miss St: Ole Miss, Kentucky, and Alabama
Alabama: Miss St, Tennessee, and Auburn
Tennessee: Vanderbilt, Alabama, and Florida
Auburn: Alabama, Georgia, Florida
Florida: Auburn, Georgia, Tennessee
Georgia: Florida, Auburn, South Carolina
Vanderbilt: Tennessee, South Carolina, Ole Miss
Kentucky: Miss St, south Carolina, and Mizzou
South Carolina: Vanderbilt, Kentucky, Georgia
Here’s the complicated version you want:
Texas: LSU, A&M, Oklahoma
Oklahoma: Arkansas, Texas, and Mizzou
Arkansas: Mizzou, Texas A&M, and Oklahoma
Texas A&M: Texas, Arkansas, and LSU
Mizzou: Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Kentucky
Ole Miss: LSU, Vanderbilt, and Miss St
LSU: Texas A&M, Ole Miss, and Texas
Miss St: Ole Miss, Kentucky, and Alabama
Alabama: Miss St, Tennessee, and Auburn
Tennessee: Vanderbilt, Alabama, and Florida
Auburn: Alabama, Georgia, Florida
Florida: Auburn, Georgia, Tennessee
Georgia: Florida, Auburn, South Carolina
Vanderbilt: Tennessee, South Carolina, Ole Miss
Kentucky: Miss St, south Carolina, and Mizzou
South Carolina: Vanderbilt, Kentucky, Georgia

Exactly. I don’t understand why people don’t see this as the best option. Auburn’s 3 permanent rivals don’t have to be the same as Alabama’s 3 permanent rivals. It’s literally what we already do for basketball scheduling.
