Now that is what Coachcrisp suggests and 7-4 schedule, 1 OOC. Now that could be untrue, but if it is, then there must be some serious $$$$$$ from ESPN to have all this inventory of Games.
Can you even imagine a more interesting and exciting college football season?...Hell NO!
You know, I don't think I can. If they do get to what you are suggesting, I would think they would spread the 12 games over 14 weeks, maybe move the SEC title game to the 2nd Saturday in December when the Army/Navy game is played. So that is historically been the last day college football is played.
So teams can have 2 open dates. As a LSU season ticket holder, I would be at every LSU home game no doubt. And when LSU is on the road, watching big-time matchups among the now 16 team league all day.
So you might be on to something. If these Super leagues ae going to break away, what is the economic incentives to play these payout games. Play these league games, ESPN pays $$$$$ and the League as a whole and each individual team furthers the SEC brand and their own brands which in this new world we are in, allows a student athlete to work on their degree, play ball and make $$$$$$ on their NIL.
Heck, LSU had a female gymnast Olivia Dunne that signed an NIL deal worth > $1 million, on another LSU site (Tigerbait) some of the younger posters that due twitter linked a pic with her and Joe Burrough out in California at some LSU get together.

EVERY week, a bunch of kick-arse games with huge consequences to the season! Hell, .500 teams will be bowl bound just because of the schedule they play!
Rivalries and semi-rivalries all over the place!
Man, I'm feeling some movement in the crotch of my pants!
SOMEBODY STOP ME!!!

I am on board. Let's be real, I am 55, when I was a kid and well into the 2000's, every LSU game was packed. These rent a wins, half the time the stadium starts out at 80% capacity and by the 4th QTR, maybe 50-60%. Nobody wants to go to see these rent a wins except die-hards like me, but I go but don't like the games on the field.
Good job coachcrisp, you are indeed thinking the right way.

The pods would be:
1. Aggie, OU, TU, and Mizz/OKSU
2. Ark, LSU, Ole Miss, and MSU
3. UA, AU, Tennessee, and Vandy.
4. USC, Florida, UGA, and Kentucky
The only problem with this set up is Auburn and Georgia not playing every year. Pretty sure that’s the oldest rivalry in the SEC.
Matchups that really should be played every year:
Bama/Barn
Bama/Tenner
UGA/Barn
UGA/Florida
Florida/Tennessee
The way to solve that is 2 8 team divisions:
East
Bama
Barn
Florida
Georgia
Tenner
Vandy
USC
Kentucky
West:
Ole Miss
MSU
LSU
Arkansas
Texas
Aggie
OU
Missouri/Oklahoma State.
You play your 7 (all important rivalries are taken care of), and two from the other division. You’ll play all 8 in a 4 year period and then just flip around who you visit the next 4 year period.
Rivalries should absolutely take precedent over some arbitrary “visit every campus every 4 years” nonsense.

Thanks.
I just want to get the biggest bang for the buck out of big time college football, and this will do it.
Each week there'll be upsets and close games galore, and if you're a fan of an elite team, buckle up!...there won't be a bunch of cakewalks!

For the sec championship game matchup do you just take the top 2 teams no matter which pod they are in.
Think you take the top in each paired pod grouping.
So if pod 1&2 play each other you go with top there, head to head decides who plays in the event of a tie.

This is what I proposed back in July:
quote:
8 west
8 east
7 games in division
4 games in other division (rotates to where you play every non-division team every 2 years) - NO PERMANENT OPPONENTS are necessary because the real ones will be within the divisions)
1 non-conference, Ga/Ga. Tech, USCe/Clemson, Fla/FSU, etc.

Here's what it'll look like:
West: Arkansas, LSU, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas and Texas A&M
East: Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, South Carolina, Tennessee and Vanderbilt
PS- another plus is all the games will have some significance....none of that Akron or Alabama STATE crap!
