Yep. I've been clamoring for realignment for years now because I'm tired of always hosting Mizzou, Kentucky, Vandy, and Tennessee

Playing Florida in JAX every year also takes away a lot of potential big home games... though I do like the tradition of playing in Jacksonville.


This is an excellent point that I glossed over in my zeal to blast you. In all seriousness, I do love the WLOCP and the Red River whatchamacallit in the Cotton Bowl. Those are great rivalries.

I went to the last LSU/Ole Miss game played in Jackson. Not remotely like the WLOCP mind you. It was fittingly on Halloween night and LSU got blasted but it was still cool to take in a taste of yesteryear. My daughter pointed out to me that Halloween 2020 is a full moon. It's also a Saturday. Will LSU be playing Ole Miss that night? Hell no, the game is in fricking September. And that is sad. Even if it will never be in Jackson again, there's something magical about Halloween night and the ghosts of the past stirring those long smoldering embers one more time.

This explains nothing to me. It doesn't explain if the home team was any good.

Then how about you come up with a system that figures all that out. Unless you want to spend hours creating some type of special formula, winning percentage is the easiest way to quickly compare.

The only thing I learned is that Georgia doesn't get to play quality opponents at home too often.
