re: SEC only 13 game schedule

Yeah... not exactly pumped about that one. Maybe if they played it in KC at arrowhead.

Nobody gives a shite

Would be awesome but man that would be a hell of grind for the players

wonder how they would determine who gets 7 home games and who gets 6 home games. My idea would be to give the 6 teams who have won the most SEC games since 2012, 6 home games. Everyone else gets 7 home games.

6 home 6 away 1 neutral site

In this environment, I like an 8 game conf schedule regular season (6 Division games, 2 cross division); ensure 4 home and 4 away

Seeding for a 14 team tourney based off of the above game results for a 4 rd Tourney based on seeding, not division

1 and 2 get a bye.

1st RD:
- 1a: 14 vs 11
- 1b: 3 vs 10
- 1c: 5 vs 8
- 1d: 13 vs 12
- 1e: 4 vs 9
- 1f: 6 vs 7

2nd Rd
- 2a: #1 vs winner of 1a
- 2b: winner 1b vs winner 1c
- 2c: #2 vs winner 1d
- 2d: winner 1e vs winner 1f

3rd rd
- 3a: 2a vs 2b
- 3b: 2c vs 2d

4th rd finals
Winner of 3a vs 3b + a bonus 3rd place game between losers of 3a vs 3b

Higher seed hosts; 4th rd games in ATL

Could play around with the seeding, but it allows:
- regular season rivalries to continue
- minimum of 9 games played per team
- minimum 4 home games each
- an 11 to 12 game season for the top 4 teams
- every team to get a playoff atmosphere experience

Personally, I like this model even in normal conditions. But, add 1-2 FBS OOC games to the regular season (guarantees 10-11 games per team).

If other conferences mirrored this, an 8 team playoff (P5 Conf winners + 3 at large based on highest ranked in the CFB Playoff Cmmte ranking after championship rds). That makes the loser bracket (3rd place) games important to attempt to make a statement for an at large bid. Playoff seeding derived from CFP Cmmte poll.

Round Robin with aSECCG if necessary. No division BS, best two teams square off against each other.
