And?
As a fan, I'd much rather play Clemson, Miami, and Furman or App St than Clemson, Furman, and App St.

Tanner should have never scheduled that series in the first place.
We have a blood fued with the Convicts since the bounty hit on Todd Ellis' knees in the late 80s.

LOL like they're some type of juggernaut.
How many playoff appearances does UF have? FSU?
Clemson is and has been above yall (and us before someone says it) for the past 15 or so years.
They are a top 5 program in that time

Imagine if y'all had to play FSU every year. :

Lol. We haven't been making the playoffs, anyway, so give me those big atmosphere games in the regular season, even if they are losses.
Every now and then, the stars may align and we beat everyone on the schedule.

all of this is just why expanding past 12 really sucked. You lose all these cool unique games, you lose conference rivalries. It's just lame

Conference expansion did this moreso than playoff expansion.

The SEC and ACC need to team up and schedule rotating home/aways with schools that are not already matched up in end of year rivalry games. Put the new games on the same weekend in September.
UF/FSU, UK/UL, SC/CU, UGA/GT remain at end of year.
Rotate the other matchups. Solves the issue of scheduling the Power 4 OOC game. If schools want to schedule others, that's on them.
ETA: Scratch that. I thought the ACC had 16, not 18.

I wish schools would quit scheduling games against SWAC-MEAC and play Power 4 or st least AAC or PAC 10 schools.
It's all about the teams that will take a paycheck vs those that want home and home. If you want people to donate a gazillion dollars for season ticket options you need to give them at least 6 or 7 home games.

If we are going to drop these big time OOC games for a 9 game conference schedule, just go to a full blown 12 game conference schedule.
It would at least minimize conference scheduling disparity and we would have a true SEC champion in the playoff.
I have no use for 3 OOC games vs cupcakes.
Soooooooooo .......
SC vs the sheep humping sister banging taterheads?
UF vs the criminoles?
UGA vs Ga Tech?
UK vs Louisville?
See how your knee jerk virtue signaling logic is unappliable?
SC has, consistently, played one of the tougher OoC schedules in the country, for decades. We had Miami scheduled on top of our SEC schedule on top of our instate rivalry game against the sheep humping sister banging taterheads.
UF, in adfition to it's SEC schedule, has .... well, their OoC schedule has been shite a lot of times tbh. Especially when FSU was way down and because they refused to play an away OoC game. But anyways, God bless'em.
I mean ... anyways ... I hear ya but your attempted solution is illogical.

Just wish everything was the same across the board. If the sec is doing something then every conference should. If they aren't we shouldn't. I prefer some of the ooc games and fear we're going to lose some good games because of it.

The conferences are too big since realignment and a 9 game SEC conference schedule was inevitable as Big 10 and Big 12 were already playing 9.
The all conference 12 game schedule for every conference is extreme but would be only way to generate relatively even scheduling across the board withun each conference. In theory, with more conference games, you would be unable to avoid the best teams in a conference like SMU in 2024 and end up with a fairly legitimate top 3 or 4 teams from each power conference for a playoff.

It would be suicidal.
First of all, let us assume that conference championship games are going away .... eventually. (Otherwise you could, conceivably have a 9-4 or 10-3 team capable of winning a national championship not even making the playoffs.)
Secondly, let's assume that the playoffs will expand to 16 teams.
Thirdly, let's assume that the NCAA is disbanded and both the SEC and B1G receive 4 auto qualifier slots in the playoffs, or half of the entire bracket. (Provided they are not intentionally seeded in such a way as to eliminate one another in one half, leaving the other half made up of the B12, ACC, Notre Dame, et al., to auto move into the winner of the other bracket.)
Point being John, we could make endless assumptions, assuming them all to eventually come to fruition, but none of them, not one, justifies a 12 game interconference (or is it intraconference?) schedule. It's just wrong-headed on so many levels.
The entire notion is ...... it's incestuous. It's unholy. It's un-American.
