No. Either pay to join us and get out of your shite conference or you don’t get to vote. You can’t have it both ways.

My guess is Florida is voting 1-7
With the permanent game being Georgia.

For clarification: yes, schools are split at this time on voting for either the 3-6 or the 1-7 format.
So obviously teams that want to keep more than 1 locked in game every year are the first group of 7.
So who is it?
Bama, Georgia and Auburn are easy.
A&M I would guess is also voting for the 3-6 format.
Who are the others that want more than one locked in?
And follow up question. If it stays tied, what breaks the tie? Sankey, Bama’s vote is worth 1.5?
I think some people are missing the fact that 1 of them is an 8 game conference schedule, and the other is a 9 game conference schedule.
That may be a big factor for schools that have a permanent OOC rival like South Carolina, Georgia and Florida.
I wonder why they aren't floating the idea of a 3/5.

Here's my guess on the votes:
Honestly I'm a little shocked it's 7-7
Missouri, Vanderbilt, Kentucky, South Carolina, Tennessee have to all be voting 1-7. A lot of times they need that cupcake to qualify for a bowl, and pulling an upper tier SEC team is almost a guaranteed loss.
Arkansas, Ole Miss and Mississippi state are the questionable ones. They all have relatively new coaches and some success, but at least 2 are voting 1-7 with the remainder voting 3-6.
Auburn, Alabama, LSU, A&M, Georgia, Florida are probably all voting 3-6

What do you think LSU is voting on at this time? That’s one school I’m not sure on.
No idea what the school is doing, but I want to see pods. It allows the lost balance and most even schedules. However pods are dead.
LSU doesn’t have 3 permanent rivals and we absolutely are not historical rivals with our best series opponents from the past 20 years (UF, Bama, Auburn). We wouldn’t be a permanent 3 of any of those teams more than likely.
So based on that, I want 1 permanent opponent and 8 rotating.
But I know where lsu stands in the eyes of the SEC office so it won’t be what we want.

Have I been reading this wrong?
Is 1-7 WITH divisions & 3-6 WITHOUT?
Either way, Ga. plays Fl. or Aub..
Where am I wrong?

I don’t think Florida wants to give up UT, and I don’t think UT wants to give up Florida.

I don’t think there are any divisions any longer. And shouldn’t it be 1-8 and 3-6 or is the one permanent opponent coming with 8 conference games. If that’s the case, I want 3-6

That's what puzzles me too.

Tennessee has balls, they don't run from their rival. A&M looking for a new conference?
Texas A&M doesn't have any choice but to vote 3-6. We will want the rivalry game with Texas setup, but Texas will want the game with Oklahoma preserved. You can't do both in a 1-7 format.
With 3-6 we get Texas, and probably LSU/Arkansas (or potentially Oklahoma to replace one of these two).

I think it's because the goal is to shorten the amount of time between matchups. Right now it takes, what, 6 years to play a non-rival from the opposite division?
So 8 games, but with 7 rotating, or keep 3 static opponents but bump the overall total to 9.

LSU doesn’t have 3 traditional rivals unless you’re saying we get ole miss, Arkansas, and aTm. Not true rivals, but the closest we got.

But 8 gives everybody 4H/4A....no extra game issue.

Both are without divisions.

But every other year you get 5. So really it’s like 4.5 home games versus 4

Would Miss. & MSU counter each other (1-7 & 3-6)...or both vote the same?
Posted on 5/25/22 at 1:20 pm to Texaggie96
And I think schools Would rather an extra 1/2 a conference game attendance to a guaranteed cupcake home game.
Posted on 5/25/22 at 1:20 pm to 3down10
Totally agree
Besides the point you noted.
Some would rather have an easier game than another SEC team. Or a home game for more money. Lots of reasons a school would want it to stay at 8 conference games.

One of those “upper tier SEC teams” is not A&M, you hopelessly arrogant Aggie.
