Beautiful Scheduling Solution: The 69

If ESPN/Disney wants pods, we get pods. You understand? The mouse runs the show now.

No divisions, you work out some rules for who gets in the championship game.

So give us each teams six opponents...

Has some advantages and would work, but I have couple thoughts. First with the 9 game schedule, it will take 6 years to rotate home and home. A lot better than what we have today, but the minimum time should be 5 years. This way a 5th year senior would have a chance to experience the entire SEC.

Second, the SEC can be roughly divided in half into teams that have been historically competitive for championships and those who haven't. Not really true for other conferences. We have alot of depth.

For schedule balance, you will want to spread those teams out. You don't want any teams playing mostly good one year and not the next. Given the nature of the SEC, I think grouping the SEC in halves facilitates this easier than grouping it in thirds. Of course these divisions could be adjusted periodically, but the thirds will require them more frequent.

If 9 games, I'm a 3 permanent and 6 rotating guy. Completes the home and home in 4 years and divides the conference in half for scheduling balance. FWIW, as you can see, a lot of people are having trouble wrapping their heads around how this works.
