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).
Over the next 11 years Florida has scheduled
2022: Utah (Gainesville, FL)
2023: Utah (Salt Lake City, UT)
2024: Miami (Gainesville, FL)
2025: Miami (Miami, FL)
2026: Cal (Gainesville, FL)
2026: NC State (Raleigh, NC)
2027: Cal (Berkeley, CA)
2028: Colorado (Gainesville, FL)
2028: Arizona State (Tempe, AZ)
2029: Colorado (Boulder, CO)
2031: Arizona State (Gainesville, FL)
2031: Notre Dame (South Bend, IN)
2032: NC State (Gainesville, FL)
2032: Notre Dame (Gainesville, FL)
There were also 2 games against Texas scheduled that are now moot, but Florida will be playing at least 2 P5 OOC opponents every year through 2032

I get what you are saying. I actually like the 1-7 better for that exact reason.
If we go to 9 conference games, doubt we schedule that many fun OOC games.

I doubt UGA is against it because otherwise they'd have to decide between Auburn and UF as an annual opponent.

How does adding 1 plus 9 get you 11?
Schools like UGA and Florida already play 2 P5 OOC opponents a year (the permanent rival, plus an opening match).
Teams without a permanent OOC rival are upping their game. For example, starting in 2025 Alabama will have 2 non-conference P5 opponents (presuming they can find a replacement for Oklahoma in 2032 and 2033) - they've booked 2 teams out all the way to 2034 (and one of the P5 opponents is on-board for 2035).

I would think so. Auburn isn't scared of playing good teams. They used to play Tennessee, Florida, Georgia, and Alabama every season, and Florida State and Georgia Tech too.

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.
I found your problem.
Georgia is going to play Auburn and Georgia Tech every season because they want to.

What don't you get about this? Gata and Nole want to play each other.

FSU whined to the state so we were forced to play each other starting in 1957 or 1958 until sometime in the 80s. But now FSU fans whine that all the games before Bowden shouldn't count even though they're the ones who forced the series to start so early in their program's history.

I doubt the vote is 7-7
I think the 3-6 format wins the day
teams like GA, FL & KY can schedule an extra OOC power in years Vandy rolls onto the schedule

Well if the options are 3/6 and 1/7. Then why not 2/6 or 2/7?
UGA will not give up WLOCP or DSOR
BAMA will not give up IB or TSIO
OM will not give up EGG or LSU
AU will not give up DSOR or IB
Texas will not give up RRR and they will ant A&M back.
The beauty of 3/6 is it really mathematically perfect. 3 locked teams every year and then 12 teams you get a home and home with in 4 years span. It’s almost like PI!
But if they don’t care about thatbsymetry then I’d go 2/7.

Oh I get it. What you aren't getting is that if the SEC goes to a 9 SEC game schedule, then the ONLY other P5 team that UF will be playing will be FSU. They will not be able to play any other major OOC game going forward unless they are willing to play 11 OOC games, which no team will do unless every SEC team is forced to.

Agreed. But 1/7 also allows for perfect symmetry doesn’t it? 16 conference games in 2 years, 15 opponents?

I think the 3-6 format wins the day too. But I also think that the teams with an instate P5 rivalry game are currently fighting it simply because they have fought the 9 game SEC schedule in the past. But in the end I think a 9 game SEC schedule is inevitable.

You don't think they'd also like to play teams like Clemson, ND, Oregon, and other OOC P5 schools? Cause if they are playing 9 SEC schools and GT every year, they aren't going to be able to schedule those other P5 schools unless they are willing to play 11 P5 schools while the rest of the SEC plays 10.

9 conference games means half the SEC will have bad records, worse than normal, then everyone ratings will drop because opponents in conference will have one more loss ( at least 50%) it will take one season for the sec to Be rated lower across the board .....
The 1-7 would preserve the over rating of the SEC....

You sure are making a lot of assumptions about what teams will do and will have to be forced to do.
You realize both Florida and Georgia are playing eight SEC teams and two P5 OOC opponents this year, right? That's 10 P5 games. This is not that uncommon. Clemson and Florida State are doing it too, as is the entire Big Ten. Hell, Arkansas is playing 8 SEC games plus Cincinnati and BYU.
I say that's awesome. frick all the little rent-a-win games. They, among other things, are sucking the life out of this sport!

IDGAF about TV ratings or our conference's national perception.
I don't care about any of your teams. Alabama, Auburn, LSU, Georgia, etc., winning the national championship means nothing to me.
