With SEC going to 9 conference games, the POD system is perfect.

4 pods
Each team plays the three schools in their POD and plays a rival out of the other pods, and then 3 non-rivals out of a rotating cross-pod. The team from the two PDS playing each other with the best record goes to the SCCCG.

Maybe one day conferences will become so big that we will have to divide them up regionally

The regional pods can be 12 teams and we can call ours the south east regional pod

Maybe we can divide that pod into divisions called east and west

And in the end we all just end up where we started. A guy can hope

If both bama schools went east and Missouri went west, it would still be imbalanced. It would need to be a team in MS shifting over east.

My brain still operates that way sometimes. Divisions are better within a huge conference because there are to many teams and it cuts them in half and more clearly defines who makes the conference title games. I know this year it would have been bama uga but still

Solution is to play every team in the SEC with 4 byes. That will be a long season but well worth it. That will means playing 16 regular season games. This is the right formula if you want a true champion to be your winner.
Plus we could start the season earlier and end it much later too. That would be awesome.
