Scenario for SEC Scheduling 2021 and beyond ? (COVID-19 & P5 related)

So if we can make it through 2020 with the 10 game SEC schedule successfully and its a home-run from a fan/television standpoint.
If the virus ruins all the lower tier conferences to go away and we go to the P5 only schedule model. All conferences keep the 10 game schedule, with 2 out of conference P5 games. I mean how much better are schools like Kansas, Illinois, Rutgers than your LA Tech, Western Kentucky, Utah St.
SEC could keep permanent opponents, without having to go a decade playing certain teams in your own conference.
You play 6 division games, 1 permanent opponent, rotate 3 opposite division teams every year to home and away. Meaning you would play every SEC team, home and away every 4 years.
Hypothetical for LSU 2021-2024 using the current 2020 schedule as a template.

Obviously in this template the schedule is a beast in 22 and 23, but it would be a beast for everyone.

I think 10 is a huge long shot but I do wonder if they revisit adding a game to 9 after this year
My ideal A&M schedule is 9 conference games, 2 G5 teams and one marquee P5 team

I really think the opposition to 9 games by the ADs and SEC power brokers , is the 5th away game. every other year. Besides the schedule disadvantage , the financial loss ever other year , is not appealing.

How in the frick are we playing UGA. Bama finally plays them once in last decade and now they are back on our schedule back to back. (No I don’t give a shite about playing the overrated team of the 21at century.) but god damn we just got off two game rotation.
