Uh, no. Instead of all the SEC teams playing Middle Tennessee State Tech Junior Varsity everyone plays one more conference game. No one is winning one more game than normal, and half the teams are taking one more loss. Instead of having those mediocre SEC teams going 8-4, ranked #22 and being bragged about as a ranked win for the good SEC teams, it’ll just be another 7-5 unranked team.

Is everyone in Oklahoma this bad at math?
16 teams. 8 more games. 4 more wins, 4 more losses.
Someone will have to win those extra games. So we drop a Kent State and pick up Vandy or South Carolina or Missouri. You think that bothers Alabama?
I get why it triggers you though. You guys are about to get your asses whipped a lot more often than in the past anyway.

Jesus you’re a dim bulb. The difference between 8 conference games and 9 conference games (the topic you addressed and I corrected you on) is 1 extra loss for half the conference. If you’re too stupid to understand that, I don’t know how you dress yourself.

Mizzou hopes we keep the Hogs in our pod since we've owned them since joining the $EC!

There was like 8 teams in the conf. then. Conf. champs supposedly carry big weight with the playoff committee.
Say you have a three way tie for the conf. championship......all three have one loss. who gets the nod? A POD system is a clustermess waiting to happen.
I think Finebaum is full of shite. I think OU/Tex will join the West. Auburn/bama will move to the East. Auburn has more natural rivals in the East anyway. bama's two biggest rivals are Auburn/Tenn.. It is a win/win for everybody
There were 10 teams. Sometimes there were co-champs. Tiebreakers will solve most issues, and the committee will decide the playoffs. I don't see an extra SEC champ game if the playoffs are now 3 games. Of course, now that players are paid above the table who knows.
As for pods vs the split you favor, it boils down to do you want the NFL model where teams rarely play teams in the other conference or PODS where you play the other division more often.

So
Texas, Oklahoma, aTm, Arkansas/Missouri
Arkansas/Missouri, LSU, miss st, ole miss
Vandy, Tennessee, Auburn, Alabama
Kentucky, Florida, Georgia, south Carolina
Like this? How do you get to conference championship? A playoff?

God, you are one hopelessly stupid motherfricker. Does not a team actually win those fricking games?
And again, let me explain the math for you like I'm talking to the utter retard that you really are.
9 conference games for each team is one extra game for 16 teams. 1 extra game for 16 teams is a total of 8 extra games for the conference....not 9. An 8 game schedule will be a total of 64 conference games played. A nine-game schedule will mean a total of 72 conference games played. That's 8 more games that are going to be won by someone...including us. We don't give a shite that you're going to lose an extra game. What's so fricking complicated about that for you to understand? 8 teams are going to get an extra win, and 8 are going to get an extra loss.
Seriously...is this the sort of mindboggling stupidity we should expect when you clowns join this board in mass in a couple of years?
Let me spell it out a little more clearly so even you can understand:
Alabama and Georgia are going to get an extra win. Do you think any of us give a shite that Oklahoma is going to get an extra loss?
I guess we expect this level of stupidity from the fanbase of a team who's mascot is a fricking mobile home.

Finebaum is guessing. I doubt there'll be 2 divisions or 4 pods. Pods cause most of the same problems that divisions cause. And, agreement on what the pods should be is impossible (but go on debating it 
).
It's much better for each team to simply play 9 SEC opponents -- 3 yearly (rivals) and rotate the other 12 in 6 schedule slots, with an equitable mix of strong to weak opponents. Every possible rotational matchup occurs twice (home & away) within every 4-year period. The 2 teams with the best SEC W-L records play in the SEC-CG. This model/format eliminates potentially imbalanced pods and achieves more equitable scheduling.
If an SEC team can't win 6 games (3 non-SEC plus 3 of its 9 SEC) to achieve bowl eligibility, it has self-induced problems that aren't due to playing 9 instead of 8 SEC games. Invest your equal share of SEC revenue in getting better.

No one is getting an extra win you inbred cocksucker.
Maybe like an 8 year can understand. Look at the 2021 schedule for Bama and South Carolina.
Take Mercer off Bama’s schedule and replace them with South Carolina.
Take Eastern Illinois off South Carolina’s schedule and add Bama.
Now tell me Bama and South Carolina’s record. I realize you’re too stupid to be able to do that, and the courts probably prevent you from being within 500 yards of any 8 year old who could easily do that math and tell you. So here:
Bama would still be 12-1.
South Carolina would be 5-7 instead of 6-6.
Now real slow for you. Bama doesn’t have any extra win, they still have 12, but South Carolina has…..wait for it……an extra loss you dumbfrick.

My preference:
No pods or divisions
9 conference games
Each team plays three games against annual rivals
Each team plays remaining 12 teams in a rotating fashion:
-- 3 at home year 1, on road year 2
-- 3 at home year 2, on road year 3
-- 3 at home year 3, on road year 4
-- 3 at home year 4, on road year 1
Top two teams, as determined by specific NFL-like tiebreaker, play in the SECCG.
This maintains all the best traditional rivalries without doing some type of "permanent-cross-division-rival" that would only mess up the schedule rotation.
Make it happen.
GEAUX TIGERS!
