How To Re-Align the SEC by PassingThrough
If the college football playoff is expanded then just drop the SEC championship game. Best record wins and it is possible for ties. Sure there will be “easy” schedules versus tougher, but it should all cycle round.
& this requires MORE tie-breakers to be created to sort schools with same records.
Ex.
Team A & Team B - 2 common opponents
Team A & Team C - 1 common opponent
Team B & Team C - 0 common opponents
0

Same state schools WILL NOT be in seperate divisions/pods.

Alabama and Auburn to the East, Mizzou to the West. 10 SEC games a year, problem solved.
Problem NOT solved.
Georgia (GT)
Florida (FSU)
SC (Clemson)
Kentucky (Louisville)
These are the 11th game for these schools leaving 1 spot open for anybody while the other 12 get 2 spots.

Four 4 team divisions.
Keep the current cross division rivals.
OU,TX,Mizz,Arkansas
A&M, LSU, Miss St, Ole Miss
Bama, AU, Tennessee, Vandy
Kentucky, SC ,UGA , Florida
UGA/Florida/Alabama/Aub. & Tn./Vandy/SC/Kentucky make better geography sense.

Drawback is UGA (probably others) HAVE 7 HOME GAMES.

I’d love 7 home games.

UGA has had 7H games as long as I remember.
Not sure what other schools do too.

It has to be competitive balance too.
You wouldn't put Bama, UGA,UF,Auburn all in same pod

Good idea since South Carolina has owned the Aggies for 10 years.
oops, Nevermind, just checked the game results and got it backwards.
Well, at least Arkansas has owned the Aggies....oops, my bad again.

I don’t hate it but you have to find a way to mix this approach while preserving rivalries

ACtually a great idea.....

With those division alot of the rivals are already covered.
Have 3 more random SEC games. 9 conference games and you would play every team once in 4 years.
You can keep almost all your rivalries with one permanent opponent from each pod. Such as:
LSU - Florida, Alabama, Arkansas
And for logistical reasons you'd do better to have a complete rotation in six years rather than four. With nine conference games you have to manage everyone's need to have an average of 4.5 home SEC games per year and that actually gets pretty fricking complicated if you don't complete the home and away rotation instead of constantly recombining and balancing every year.
Balancing schedules and building the right amount of new rivalries (while maintaining the interest and history of the traditional SEC) is the hope. That actually becomes somewhat easier with six consistent opponents per team and the ability to rotate through the other nine in groups of three.

This is terribly retarded

Your way likely has issues with the number of home and away games each team has every year.
Also seems to completely ignore rival games

Why do people try to separate the rivals texas/aggie from their pod?
No.

With 3 permanent, 6 others and alternating every year you could run through the whole conference every 4 years.
Can’t find the full size one.
