re: The year is 2025 and Georgia will be making it's first trip to College Station...

& THAT doesn't create repeat games in multiple years?

So this is the only Florida trip to College Station that was planned by the current scheduling rotation.

If I’m not mistaken, the very first A&M conference game was Florida in college station.

This is the way the SEC has always been. It's a long SEC tradition that some schools simply play other schools infrequently.

I'll say! Mississippi State NEVER played Georgia Tech the entire time they were in the SEC. Like from 1933 to 1965.
Not Once in football.

This is by far one of the shittier things about permanent division rivals

Lol

Permanent division rivals vs irrelevant artificially added teams to a conference. Mmmmmkay

Why do people assume adding teams means that you should play odd opponents more frequently? Im amazed at the lack of logic and common sense on the board.

I'd say it's more a shitty thing about expanding the conference for zero reason aside form money. Prior to 2012 we played every other non-permanent opp. team from the other division home/away every 5 years. Bama in 02/03/07/08. LSu in 03/04/08/09. Arkansas in 04/05/09/10. Etc, etc. That worked perfectly fine.

Which proves that making a schedule off of the previous season's results would contribute to repeat matchups instead of playing everybody first.

That was because Bobby Dodd refused to play @ State or Ole Miss because we were both located in the sticks. My Dad could not stand GT and was glad when they left the conference. And just set the record straight, they did not leave because of the scholarship situation (though they want you to believe that today).
They left because of GREED. Back in those days, the BOWL MONEY was a huge amount for the schools. However, GT did not like sharing their bowl money with the other conference schools. Hence they left to become independent, thinking they could become the Notre Dame of the South. But there is only one ND.

It was a DUMB and DUMBER decision on their part. Thus they will never be allowed back in the SEC. They left on their own and good for them as they can stay gone.

That would be nice IF you had smaller conferences. The catch is...NOT MANY WANT more conferences.

---

every actual fan of college football wants smaller conferences. The only people that want 20+ team super leagues are the leagues themselves because they only care about money.

My point was that while they want small #'s of conference members, they don't want more conferences to be created (which you would HAVE to do in downsizing others).

Ex.
"My Fb Superconference" has 20 members. They say you should only have 10. So, we break that up into "My Fb Conference A" (10 teams) & "My Fb Conference B" (10 teams).
But then they whine about the extra smaller conference.

So, they don't want Option A (superconferences) yet they also don't want Option B (increased # of smaller conferences).

Therefore, WHAT is the solution?
