I.E. Auburn finishes 7-1 and in 2nd place in the SECW while Mizzou wins the East at 6-2 therefore Auburn
How crazy will it be when both Bama and Au are undefeated at iron bowl and have a rematch the following week in the seccg due to the best in the easy having 2+ sec losses.
Bama would be able to beat Au twice in same season. Double bragging rights!
What if they split, Au won reg season game , Bama won Seccg and both ended with 1/loss and then both got in the playoff and played in the nccg with Bama winning the 3rd game of course. LOL there would be a bunch of arse hurt folks in the country when that scenario plays out.

I'm not asking about scheduling, I'm providing a scenario that would cause major controversy with a pod system that doesn't implement a playoff for the winners.
I have no problems with have 16 teams with 4 pods, but if they choose to do that the logical way to determine the conference champ is to have a playoff.
You would have tie breakers just like you do now. Duh

Why keep the divisions then?
They won't.
I've been saying this is the way its heading for at least a year.
If you rotate all 8 conference games on a home and home basis with 4 teams staying and 4 leaving then the longest you go without seeing a team is 2 years.
USC's hypothetical schedule
year 1
UGA @UF UT @UK Vandy @Mizzou Ole Miss @LSU
Year 2
@UGA Bama @UT MSU @Vandy Arkansas @Ole Miss Auburn
Year 3
aTm @Bama UF @MSU Mizzou @Arkansas LSU @ Auburn

I wish they would just move Mizzou to the West so all you fricktards would stop bitching.
We all agree, but who will it be going East that's NOT Auburn, Alabama, NOR moving Vandy West?

I'll vote for nine games but only if we do away with the permanent "so-called" rival game. When the SEC HQ begins to represent ALL 14 universities, I'll listen to their recommendations. Short of that...screw them!
Unfortunately for you, I believe 10+ schools WERE IN FAVOR of the perm. rivalry!

This is precisely the same type of thing we see in the corporate/political world.
Those with the most power, the biggest brand ect make the rules.
This benefits the biggest brands in college football, not college football as a whole.

Alabama vs Miss. State
Wouldn't have happened after the Egg Bowl smackdown. Mizzou was the second best team in the SEC last year.

Deregulation of conference championship games expected to pass

Yep...that is why it will go to 4 team pods. Top 2 teams play for the title and then playoff appearance, potentially.
So, what happens if the SEC has 4 pods, and 3 of them have undefeated teams? Or, if 1 pod has an undefeated team and two others have 1 loss teams which both lost to the undefeated pod "winner"?
If you're going to have 4 pods, you have a "playoff" with the 4 pod winners to determine the conference champ. Otherwise, it's pointless to have pods in the first place.
You can't. The pods will be paired every year.
year 1 - AB/CD
year 2 - AC/BD
year 3 - AD/BC
At MOST you would have 2 teams (1 from each set of pods) that could be undefeated.
