Under a 6-2 model, you play teams from the other side twice every 6 years.
Like I said, depending on the ebb and flow of the strength of various programs, it would mostly even out over time, but "over time" discussions are inconsequential for the most part to SEC football. What happens on a yearly basis is all that really matters.

I'm out of here. Auburn fans didn't cry when Auburn had to play Florida and Georgia every year while LSU got the benefit of playing Florida and Kentucky.

I guess records since conference expansion don't mean anything to you?

No. It was a rotation. Playing South Carolina next year and UGA losing Alabama is not unfair, just a product of expansion and rotation.

All that said, there's an easy compromise that will be adopted by the SEC, probably beginning in 2014. Those four schools keep their annual game, and the rest of the 10 league teams will rotate.
please lets do this, everyone gets what they want.
any teams have a problem with this?

UGA is better than UF right now. This is silly. I'm guessing you aren't old enough to understand how cyclical SEC football can be.
You are looking at too narrow a period. Over the last 20 or so years, Florida has left UGa and UT in the dust. Hell, you could even go back further than that and Florida is head and shoulders above. And yes, I know Georgia leads the all-time series, but the bulk of that lead was built up a long time ago when Florida didn't have the demographic advantages it has now and will always have in the future.
SEC football is not fully cyclical. If it were, all-time records would all be roughly even. Consistently, over a long period of time, some teams outperform others. Florida has outperformed the rest of the East and will continue to do so for a long time. You know that. I know that. Everyone knows that.
I'm not saying that's a reason to get rid of permanent rivals, and if you don't think we should, fine by me. But take that position for honest reasons, and don't try to bullshite your way through with some claim that Georgia=Tennessee=Florida.

That's an interesting proposal.
Has it actually been seriously discussed?

Is LSU saying we don't want to play UGA? No, we're saying we would like to play them more.

Because you set up the system so you could play Georgia. Of course you didn't complain. How many times do we need to go over this, Gumps, Mountain Gumps, Barners, and Puppies don't complain because they set up the rules to do exactly what they wanted. No one brags about not complaining about rules they themselves implemented. That's ridiculous.

You think Alabama, Tenn, AU, and UGA want to be in the same four team division? The outcry over the unfairness would be the definition of hypocrisy. Much like the OP showed and the Auburn fans responded. Outcry over the unfairness even though we're just trying to maintain their rivalries.

And what is this crap that we have to play South Carolina this year? South Carolina is finally relevant. That's grossly unfair. frick that noise. That game should NOT count towards the standings. I'm sure Spurrier would agree.
Bring on North Texas.
THIS... Good God Almighty, all of this..

Are lsu fans happy yet? After all this is really what the whole thing shoudl be about. Between this, the refs, and espn you guys sure do get shite on (in your own minds only of course).

quote:True. The big 6 have and will likely remain the big 6, which strengthens my argument.
SEC football is not fully cyclical.
quote:UGA will always be competitive with them and UT will return as well. It isn't nearly as great of a disparity as you make it out to be. Certainly, there is some disparity but UF has struggled the last couple of years and doesn't look like it will be dominating the east for at least another couple.
Florida has outperformed the rest of the East and will continue to do so for a long time. You know that. I know that. Everyone knows that.
quote:I have never claimed they were exactly equal. But neither are Bama, LSU and AU. They are all close enough that it makes since to match them up against each other if you are going to have more conference teams than conference games every year.
don't try to bullshite your way through with some claim that Georgia=Tennessee=Florida.

The 90s are ancient history. As a LSU fan/alumnus, I've tried my best to forget most of the 90s.
And since Spurrier left Florida, Florida has 3 division titles compared to Georgia's 4 division titles.
Georgia has faltered in the big games but they are pretty damn competitive with Florida during the regular season. Though they do seem to have this little problem with beating Florida (only 3 wins since 1998)...

Seeing a team 2 times in 12 years that is in the same conference is what I think is the main flaw of the 6-1-1 system.

Look at conference expansion. It's not just LSU, AU, and Bama. The structure is in place because of y'all, so of course you won't complain about it. It's this way because you want a rivalry game. So someone trolls and offers in the OP a suitable option, but it's met with outcry and hypocrisy.
