You've skirted around the question.
I gave you a list of MUST PLAY annual games involving 8 teams to tell us how that will work if you're not changing divisions nor getting rid of divisions, but you ARE getting rid of c-d opponents. Yet doing so eliminates 2 long historied SEC rivalries.
Along with that, I threw out the fact of 4 SECE teams that have ACC in-state rivals & how you'ld set their schedules when they have 4 SEC H(ome) games - which impacts their (ACC's) schedule because of the 15th team of ND.
So...take all those factors & give us a working schedule that's fair to all.
Long story short, just about EVERY team has 7 H(ome) games a year. So, if 5/12 are SEC A(way), then.....

My opinion is that they would just like to see Tennessee get back to beating Bama occasionally.
This. I love the Florida game.

Not to be rude to Florida fans in your thread, but Florida's fans and the game day experience at Florida are one of the worst in the SEC. Football aside, I'd prefer to go visit Georgia, South Carolina and Kentucky more often. They all have a Southern feel to their campus and Florida just does not.

Not an LSU fan except when they play aggy. But NO dont want it to end. I love traveling to LA, Best food in the country. I cant get good crawfish, boudin or Jack In The Box tacos around here.

No I didn’t skirt the question buddy my answer is there will no longer be a TSIO or a DSOR. There would be no more permanent cross divisional games period. And as for how many home games or away games we have some seasons you’ll have five road games some you may have four. There is no way to guarantee a team the same amount of home games and away games in a nine game conference schedule plus all the SEC teams that have OOC rivals. I’m not J Robert Oppenheimer but the mathematics don’t work out. On the years UGA has to play at Ga Tech y’all will have an extra road game. Same for UF vs FSU, USCe vs Clemson, and UK vs Louisville. The other SEC teams will play OOC road games too.

We need to end the permanent matchups and move to a system that leaves the best 3 from each side to round robin for last 3 games. That would ensure that the best teams play each other and the SEC championship hosts the two best records from that group, even if it’s two East or West teams.

You did skirt around it because my statement was that DSOR, TSIO, etc. would NOT end NOR would they be played as OOC.
As to the 9 game schedule, obviously it would flip between 5H/4A & 4H/5A.
Yet my other point is when the 4 SECE teams have 4H conf. games, they would have to host their ACC opponent & the other 2 non-conf. games to ensure 7 home games that year. HOWEVER, to do this impacts the ACC's scheduling which now includes ND.
Now you see why, for us 4, a new scheduling format isn't as easy as others think it can be.
