SEC 9 Game Schedule Format - Perms

By the time the SEC sorts out the 9 game schedule and permanent rivals, we will be adding ACC teams and starting all over again.

Let’s just balance it out and make it four. I’d like AM AR UK and OU every year in no particular order.

Nope, 3 is the number.

With 3 permanent and 6 rotating games in a 9 game schedule, you only have to create a 4 year schedule. You can then repeat it. Every team would play 3 teams every year and the remaining 12 teams twice every 4 years.

With a 14 team SEC the optimal numbers would have been an 8 game conference schedule where you could do the exact same thing with 3 permanent and 5 rotating.

Not four, three is the number we shall count, five is right out!

Nice Holy Hand Grenade reference! Take an UV.

With no divisions, the fair thing is 10 games. Give LSU Bama, UF, Auburn, and OU.
Don't want to lose the first 3, want the same team for Rivalry week. Would be fine with the Black Friday Arkansas games.

40-13 (at home)

Good luck getting UGA, Florida, SC, & Ky. being okay with only 1 free slot on the schedule.

A five team division? And the Tennessee and Georgia games for Alabama and Auburn?

The five teams per division is still pretty difficult to manage.

If you up the SEC to 20 teams (please God no) then you have four five team divisions? And then you rotate divisions plus a permanent to play ten conference games?

Easier to have four team divisions and stay with sixteen. Eight conference games gets you the same result then plus allows out of conference teams to play.
