9 games isn't bad. It's the scheduling format that needs to be changed to easily determine rankings without these new tie-breakers.

Problem with schedule format is that not every team can play each other. Assuming which teams are going to be good and spread everyone’s schedule to have equally good teams to be fair is impossible. It’s a crap shoot as some good teams in a given year will be bad and some bad teams will be good so it’s all a crap shoot.

Not so fast.
Three way tie scenario is pretty complex and takes in to account your conference SOS and that puts UGA and OM ahead of Bama.

Why dis the SEC feel it necessary to have permanent opponents x 3?
The BigX didn't.

Why would they go over OM?
They won't be ranked higher if both win out.
ETA Tiebreaker scenarios
quote:
) Win percentage against common opponents within the conference.
3) Win percentage against common opponents based on the order of finish. This tiebreaker examines each opponent individually, progressing from top to bottom in the table. If a group of common opponents is tied, then the head-to-head tiebreaker will be applied for that tie, and if it cannot split them, the combined record against the tied teams will be used.
4) The combined record of all conference opponents for each team. If, for any reason, one team has played fewer than nine conference games, the winning percentage will be used as opposed to the record.
5) Each team’s ranking by SportsSource Analytics’ capped relative total scoring margin versus all Conference opponents among tied teams.
6) Random draw.

You think Ole Miss has a strong SoS?
Why?

Works for me, I'll take a bye in the SECCG.
However, I think it's that Georgia has the tie breaker over Ole miss and Alabama has the tie breaker over Georgia. Ole Miss doesn't have a tie breaker win over anyone.
But I'm not 100% up on the rules and all that shite, so I could be wrong.

How is Ole Miss’s schedule better than Bama’s? They have one win against a ranked opponent.

Here ya go
My bad on SOS but here are the tiebreakers and the scenario I read had OM and UGA over Bama in a 3 way
tie.

I'm guessing this means 8 conference games.
I'm betting Alabama's opponents have the higher % here, but I don't know. I would expect Ole Miss to come in last among the 3 being mentioned.

I think a good question is what does the playoff seeding look like if you have:
11-1 UGA
11-1 Ole Miss
11-1 A&M
11-2 alabama (SEC Champion)
10-2 Oklahoma
I would think the 1 loss teams would be seeded higher
In this scenario, Bama beat TAMU to win the SECCG? No chance they'd be ranked higher than Bama at that point.
I could buy UGA and OM being ranked higher.
