I would think that UF, USCe, UK & UGA all would prefer an 8 game conference schedule because they all have basically 1 permanent power 5 out of conference game with FSU, Clemson, UL, & GT. If the conference goes to a 9 game SEC schedule, then they basically won't have the flexibility to schedule any other compelling OOC games unless they are willing to play 11 SEC & power 5 schools in a year (which I don't see anyone doing at this point).

The poors are the ones who want to keep things at 8 conference games so they can continue to make that extra revenue.
Miss State
Kentucky
Missouri
Ole Miss
S. Carolina
Vanderbilt
The other one is a tossup between Arkansas and Tennessee. It could go either way.
Auburn, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, LSU, and A&M have got to be the ones wanting to go to 3-6.

How does adding 1 plus 9 get you 11?

I wouldn't be so sure. Auburn and Florida have quite the history. Geographically speaking, Auburn is the closest school to Gainesville too.

If you're dumb enough to think Georgia would vote to eliminate either the Cocktail Party or DSOR, then stop thinking.

I think SI had LSU’s 3 being Bama, A&M and Ole Miss

Which is why they should have moved them to the East when they added Mizzou and aTm. But, that’s history and irrelevant today.

I would think the same for LSU. I imagine we’d want to continue playing Ole Miss and Arkansas at least, I don’t know who the third would be.
Tennessee probably wants to keep the Bama and Florida games

This is why the whole system needs to change. We shouldn't penalize teams for scheduling. The SEC gauntlet is difficult enough to prove who's deserving. The winner and runner-up of the SEC should get auto bids to the playoff. Maybe even 3 bids if they expand the playoff enough.

I’d be fine with that. But man I will miss the UF series. I was in college from 05-11 for undergrad and grad school.
The UF and Auburn games were THE games.

Arkansas and Oklahoma will be each school’s closest geographic conference mate by far in addition to being a convenient border state game, so even though there is no rivalry there, I think that game will be set up. Plus Oklahoma doesnt have another obvious choice after Texas and Missouri. Arkansas will get Oklahoma and Missouri, but also is likely to get the preferred #1 choice which will be Texas.
Since I dont think LSU will get Arkansas, I think they get Ole Miss, Miss State and A&M

You’re probably right
Hogs are voting 3-6 is my guess.

If we go to super conferences I do not think there should be any auto bids.
I think the selection committee will make the right choice and with 12 teams in the playoff, I could see 3 sec teams almost always getting in.

Because playing the same 10 P5 teams every year will get old at some point. They are already basically forced to play their OOC instate rivals which equals 10 P5 games. So if they want to play any other compelling OOC P5 team to break up the monotony, it'll be 11 games they are forced to play.

Why not 2-6 format or 2-7 if they want 9 games? Don’t see why they should be down to only those 2 choices.
4-5?
4-5?

What don't you understand about this?

What part about 3 permanent, 6 rotating don't you understand?
No team will be playing the same 10 P5 opponents yearly.

1-7 and 3-6 has every team play each other home and away in a 4 year span.

I think the Board and President would rather play GT over Auburn every year. If they accept a 9 game SEC schedule then they are either going to be stuck playing the same OOC P5 school every year, or play 11 P5 games. And if you think there won't be political forces in Georgia pushing them to keep their instate game with GT, you are nuts.

Ok, I messed up how I stated that. But it will still be a monotonous schedule of SEC schools the play a lot more frequently than they do now, plus a OOC P5 schedule that is the same school every year. Do you not like to play different OOC P5 schools outside of your normal scheduled SEC teams?
