There won't be PODS
quote:
It will be 2 divisions with Bama and Barn moving East and all the lil 12 fools with LSU, ARK, Miss, and State.
Pods are coming, it makes more sense, and allows teams to play each other every 4 years
Besides, even if the divisions stayed together Ark would still play Texas/OU every year.
TideFaninFL: The POD system has 4 obstacles that those of us who are fans of charter members of the SEC all understand. There are 4 non-negotiable games, your team is part of 2 of them (Bama/Auburn; Bama/TENN), the other 2 are UGA/Florida and UGA/Auburn,.
The POD with (Bama/Auburn/TENN/Vandy) address the two games Bama are part of.
The POD with (FLorida/UGA/UK/SCAR) addresses the Florida/UGA game.
However, the POD system as I understand it without any permanent POD cross over does not address the UGA/Auburn game.
So lets be honest, all of us charter members are going to have to adapt, but I don't think it is going to happen at the expense of "any of those 4 games".
If you stop and think about it, I think you will agree.

With the new change in college football, it’s time to get rid of those four games unless they go to a 9 game schedule with 4 pods, one permanent opponent in each pod and play another pod each year.
3 games each pod
3 permanent games
3 against another pod
This way if we go with the rumored pods, we solve this problem and play every team within 3 years.
Let’s use LSU for example
A&M, ole miss and state
3 permanent opponent, one from each pod
Florida, Arkansas, Alabama/Auburn
Then a pod that rotates every year. Easiest way to keep Bama-Tennessee, Auburn-uga, uga-Florida and the iron bowl
By the way, I’m tired of those four games determining everything
3 games each pod
3 permanent games
3 against another pod

The PAC and Big Ten both have special allowances just for teams with rivalries. In the PAC the California schools play every year without any other permanent rivalries across divisions.
