My point is they're in the same state. Therefore they'll ALWAYS play each other.
So, if Auburn heads East, then Ala./Aub. remains & Tn./Vandy remains. Goodye 3SIO!
You know the SEC won't give that up. So.....that's the glue keeping any same state school split in divisions.
If Mizz. is going West, they're going with Ky., SC, Fl., or Ga..
& those combos, my friend, are as stupid as when they put the Braves in the NL West grouped with LA, San Diego, & San Francisco.

How do you set up the cross-div. rotation?
1992+ style
A home & B away
B home & C away
C home & D away
D home & E away
E home & F away
F home & A away
2012+ style
A home & B away
C home & D away
E home & F away

As a fan, I agree with Holgorsen. I'm tired of one neutral site game and three rent-a-wins. I could do without Chattanooga and Troy. Syracuse is at least a Power 5 opponent, but not a good one. I'd rather see another SEC opponent.
LSU goes to Tennessee later this year for the first time in six years. Georgia comes to LSU next year for the first time in 10 years. If the rotations stay the same and the schedule stays at 8 games, those visits become once every 12 years. That's absurd.

Pretty sure Coach Saban and Bret Bielema are the only two coaches in favor of the 9 game conference schedule.

His actual twitter quote?
"I tell my SEC friends they need to play 9 (league games). I wish we all did. We’re all after the same prize"
Yeah. easy to say that when you want your team to have the easier path and impede your opponent in the SEC.
West Virginia's non conference by year for his 7 seasons
2017 Virginia Tech (rivalry) + East Carolina + Delaware State (FCS)
2016 Mizzou (4-8, non brand) + Youngstown St (FCS) + BYU (9-4, ND Lite)
2015 Maryland (3-9 in B1G) + Liberty (FCS) + Georgia Southern
2014 Alabama (Chick fil A) + Towson (FCS) + Maryland (rivalry - B1G)
2013 William & Mary (FCS) + Georgia State + Maryland (rivalry - ACC)
2012 Marshall (Coal Bowl) + James Madison (FCS) + Maryland (rivalry - ACC)
2011 Marshall (Coal Bowl) + Norfolk State (FCS) + Maryland (rivalry - ACC)
He needs to put his money where his mouth is because his schedule has FCS schools every year he has been there. Aside from the Chick Fil A game with Alabama it is not like West Virginia is scheduling heavyweight games every year against traditional powers like Ohio State or Southern California, much less closer SEC schools like Florida or Tennessee.

Exactly. I'd love for my team to play 9 Big12 games as well

Georgia would be on board if the other 10 teams have a perm. ooc rivalry as well.

I'm partial to OkSt, but that's just a personal bias.

The W/L loss record over the last 20 years would likely be better....but please name a year you would have actually won the conference.

So 7 teams would get 5 home conference games while the other 7 would only get 4 home conference games? That sounds "fair". I guess you would have to have one division play 5 and the other play 4. Only fair way to do it.

A certain school always gets 5 home, 1 neutral, and 3 road conference games in the Big 12. See if you can guess which one.
Posted on 9/20/17 at 11:53 am to CGSC Lobotomy
If you mean Texas or Oklahoma, both play 4 true home games, 4 true road games and 1 true neutral game each season.
My apologies if you mean someone else. I've only been following Big XII/Big 8 football for about 40 years, so may his missed where KU/KSU got moved to KCMO.
