Has anyone brought up a double pod structure? Each team plays each of the teams in their row and column each year for 6 total games. Remaining 3 games filled by teams outside your column and row.
Texas OU Vandy SC
A&M LSU Bama. UK
Arky Mizzou Tenn. UF
MSU Ole Miss AU. UGA

Interesting idea.. but the way you presented it won’t work. No Bama vs Miss State.

interesting but, I think I prefer the rotating pod format more honestly.

Updated version that makes it more competitively balanced and keeps every major rivalry game
Texas / OU / Vandy / SC
A&M / LSU / Tenn / UK
Arky / Mizzou / UF / UGA
MSU / Miss / Bama / AU

I've been putting that idea out there for years when the SEC goes to 16.
Each team has 1 designated rival in the other 3 pods.
You partner up the pods yearly & have the following schedule:
Games 1-3.....pod members
Game 4.....partnered pod rival
Games 5-7.....partnered pod teams
Games 8-9.....rivals from the other 2 pods
ex. for team A1
rivals: B1, C1, D1
Y1 - A2, A3, A4, B1 (pod B rival), B2, B3, B4, C1 (pod C rival), D1 (pod D rival)
Y2 - A2, A3, A4, C1 (pod C rival), C2, C3, C4, B1 (pod B rival), D1 (pod D rival)
Y3 - A2, A3, A4, D1 (pod D rival), D2, D3, D4, B1 (pod B rival), C1 (pod C rival)
You've played everybody in 3 years & full rotation on 6.
