I think of soybeans. Which cause low T. No bueno.

You’re just confused as a South Carolina fan since this is the first time in years you have still been paying attention to football in November.


South Carolina fans unlike Alabama fans are actually loyal and pay attention to football regardless of how our team is performing.

But, per your format, both of Ala.’s perm games are from the opposite group. How does that help their rotation?

Geographically, that makes sense, but puts 5 of the B6 in the East.

So now strength balance will be complained about.

Agreed.

SEC and Big Ten will expand to 20 or 24 teams and have their own playoffs.

It doesn’t. But the biggest gripe about the current system is how much variability there is in strength of schedule because of this rotation.

At least if you went back to two 8 team divisions it would be possible to have all division teams play each other every year. At least in terms of winning the division it would be a little more even playing field.

There is no way ever that Georgia, Florida, Alabama, and Auburn should be in same 4 team group.. Every one of them has won a national championship in the last 25 years and those 4 teams have won 11 of the last 25 national championships. All other SEC schools (LSU and Texas) have combined for 3 during that same time frame. No way you can stack one group like that, geography be damned.

Like this better for the Hogs. We belong in the South (LSU, Ole Miss and MS State) rather than the SW. Those Big 12 SOBs have one another.

I don’t either - I like what we have now, but those pods make sense (as long as everyone gets a permanent rival)

“Easier solution. Cancel the CCG. Go back to pre-92 and have co-champs and let the CFB committee sort it out in the rankings. It only hurts the conference at this point.”

This is the only solution.

I don't care just keep it geographical.

Anything is better than a 16-team pile-up.
