With Drinks comments today about the purpose of having conferences anymore for football, got me to thinking what my preference would be for an LSU "P4" schedule and curious what other SEC fans would have a preference towards.

Right now I think I would prefer LSU to have old SEC West schedule pre OU/UT addition, two alternating SEC East teams, and then alternating two games between Big 12, ACC, Big 10 (ideally home and home). Non P4 games I would prefer be FCS team from in state or neighboring state and G6 from in state or neighboring state. This would help keeping the money local and possibly identifying some local talent that slipped through and ended up at smaller schools that deserve a chance at larger school.

Let's kick that pedo looking freak Stankey back to whatever northern state that birthed him first.

Could not care less. But I think the handwriting is on the wall. Conferences are done. Time to go independent. Let the games begin.

If you really want to go old school, why don't we just go back to something like the way it was before 1992: you have to play a certain number of SEC games (8 seems likely) in order to be eligible for the championship, but the schools set their own schedules.

Since conference championships are pretty meaningless, it wouldn't matter if some schools tried to schedule wins by loading up on teams they think will be less competitive, while others try to schedule a bunch of historic rivals.

If we do anything other than the 3/6 schedule, where everyone plays everyone else home and away in a four year cycle, we are going to leave the imbalance up to Birmingham, and there will be endless bitching about that (school A got it easy because they don't have to play at school B for five years).

This way, instead, you'll know exactly who to blame.
