No. Now that the Gus clown show is gone, it’s time for Auburn to reclaim the DSOR lead like God intended.

We are in the same conference..we ain’t just playing for fun.
How about 11 SEC games? Surely all of the important rivalry games could be fit into that model. It would be hard as heck.. but it sure would be fun.
Play your Division - 7 games
Rotate other 8 - 4 games
I hate playing OOC cream puffs anyhow.
HELL NO!
Ga.'s 12th game - GT
Ky.'s 12th game - Louisville
Fl.'s 12th game - FSU
SC's 12th game - Clemson
The other 12 teams can schedule whomever they want!

Here is another solution..
Add Texas to the West..
Add Oklahoma to the East
Make them permanent rivals..
Play a 9 game schedule exactly as it is played right now..
I don’t like this idea for the same reason many of you don’t like the current scheduling format.. you don’t see some teams except once every blue moon.
Bottom line: There are a lot of options to make sure ALL of the important rivalries are played.
You've nailed it.
9 conference games
games 1-7: conference member
games 8-9: 2 c-d opponents
It'ld take 4 years to see the other division ONCE!

Ironically, this is my format, but I'm changing the pairs yearly
Y1: AB vrs. CD
Y2: AC vrs. BD
Y3: AD vrs. BC
Y4: AB vrs. CD
Y5: AC vrs. BD
Y6: AD vrs. BC
You see everybody in 3 years & also a full rotation in 6.

Read my post about the horror of keeping divisons @ 16 teams when it comes to scheduling.

I’d rather drop Bama than UGA. Oldest rivalry. Not giving that up.
Posted on 7/22/21 at 7:29 pm to JKChesterton
Sounds like it might work. However, you'ld have to see who would be partnered with whom & go from there. For example, I'm sure TN/Vandy, Aub./Ala., & Miss./MSU would be kept.
Posted on 7/22/21 at 7:29 pm to Dawgfanman
I think we'd rather move the game to every other season or every 5 years. Bama has nothing to gain by beating up on Auburn. Auburn's super bowl is always against big brother.

Wrong and Auburn screwed with the DSOR "tradition" when they bitched and moaned and finally got the game moved to early October.
Screw 'em.Its just another SEC game to me now.
In fairness, the SEC screw up CAUSED Aub. to complain. Had DSOR NOT switched the rotation schedule, Aub. would NOT be playing Alabama & Georgia both @ home or away in the same year. Same thing with Georgia & Florida or GT (can't remember who).

I’d genuinely stop watching CFB if this happened.

Their loss of an annual game is the only huge problem I saw with the SEC network suggestion for pods.
They would have their home-and-home every two years instead of every year. Is that a big issue?
Posted on 7/22/21 at 7:39 pm to holdem Tiger
The sec won't do that. That pod will be Bama auburn Georgia and Tennessee. Those 4 schools won't allow their biggest games to be less than an annual event. Bama, the iron bowl and the 3rd Saturday. Auburn, the iron bowl the deep south's oldest rivalry. When your game has a name, u don't kill that. Like the battle for the boot or the Magnolia bowl. The egg bowl is also intact.

I say you go strictly geographically
SEC East
Tennessee
Vanderbilt
Kentucky
South Carolina
SEC South
Auburn
Alabama
Florida
Georgia
I see this as a better geographic alignment.
Also, why wouldn't you just partner up pods instead of everybody switching out a team?

So much fear in this one.

Bama has fired 10 win coaches because they couldn’t win the IB. Has Auburn ever done that?

Just ditch divisions and pods. Go for a balanced schedule approach that cycles opponents evenly. Top 2 conference records play in the SECCG.
The only permanent annual games are the perma-rival games that need to be kept. Some schools (Alabama, Auburn, Tennessee, UGA, Florida, Texas, possibly LSU/A&M) will have 2 permanent annual rivals. Others will have 1. As long as you have an even number of perma-rivals you wont have a scheduling problem.
Please tell us HOW this will look (ESP. when you're saying some schools have 1 perm. game while others have 2.) But doesn't that NEGATE your "balanced" statement?

quote:That is how you do it with a pod system, but the real answer is that you don't use pods.
Been saying that forever. & partner up pods each year. 9 game schedule made instantly for every school:
Y1: A/B vrs. C/D (winner of each duo goes to SECCG)
Y2: A/C vrs. B/D (winner of each duo goes to SECCG)
Y3: A/D vrs. B/C (winner of each duo goes to SECCG)
Team A1's schedule
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)
Pods are a method of providing a rotating schedule while having round robin divisional play. They were imagined in order to comply with a rule which no longer relevant--that in order to play a conference championship game, you have to break into divisions of at least six teams where you play a complete round robin.
Since the Big XII got the rule changed, there is no need to jump through all these hoops. Just do it like we do in basketball: give each team 3 opponents that they play every year, then rotate the other 12, six in one year, six in the next. The two teams with the best record meet in the conference championship game. You play a home and home with every team in the league over the course of four years. You don't have divisional imbalance, where a 12-0 division champ meets an 8-4 divisional champ. You don't confuse fans by switching up who you are competing with for the divisional title every year.

I figured TN/Vandy would be in the same pod.
Posted on 7/22/21 at 7:51 pm to southernboisb
They would probably be permanent cross-pod opponents.
Ugh. That sounds retarded just saying it. For God's sake, no pods. Just get rid of divisions.
