So are we gonna have to give up either the Auburn or Florida game?

It sounds like the future SEC scheduling model that gained the most traction in Destin is the 8-game 1-7 model that only keeps one permanent opponent.
Is the SEC really gonna force us into a position to ditch one of the biggest rivalries in the history of the conference? Because the DSOR and the WLOCP are definitely 2 of the top 5 at minimum.
If so, which one are we ditching? I imagine Auburn since they’ll want to keep the Iron Bowl.

If the money grubbing morons making the decisions have a say I suppose so. If logic and common sense are still allowed we'll keep both.
If the 1-7 passes UF will be our permanent. So the only things that could stop the DSOR throughout history are world war and...2 new teams joining the conference.
My GUESS on who each team would have:
AL-AU
AU-AL
Ark- LSU
LSu - Ark
MSu - OM
OM- MS
AtM - Tex
UGA- UF
UF- UGA
UK - UTen or SC
Mizz- Ok
SC - UK or Vandy
UT - Van or UK
Van - UTen or SC
Tex - aTm
Okl - Mizz
What blows me away is everyone's absoluite unwaivering need and I mean NEED to have to play every other team every couple years. Why?? It is worth losing UGA/AU just so UGA can play mississippi state more frequently? The other model proposed the 3-6 still gives a good rotation and keeps all the traditional rivalries. In addition to adding a 9th conference game which I figured people would be all in favor of. I just truly can't wrap my head around doing the 1-7.

Exactly. There are so many ways around this that make so much more sense.
If the coaches are just that damn afraid of a 9-game conference schedule, use a 2-6 model and make it where you play every team every 3 years. Big whup. That’s a way less big deal than losing the kind of major annual rivalries that you’d drop with the 1-7 model.

One thing is for certain: in a time of great upheaval such as the NIL/Transfer Portal era, college administrators will ALWAYS find a way to double down on making it far worse

I hate the direction sankey is taking the SEC in. Adding Texas and Oklahoma is a disaster. There’s nothing southeastern about them or mizzou or aTm for that matter. The conference has prided itself on tradition forever. Now we are just going to throw it all away? It was bad enough to move the auburn game up to early in the season but to get rid of it all together? That sucks. I’m sure auburn has no problem with taking us off their schedule though .

Yah, I think Auburn would love to remove us from their schedule at this point. I hate this conference expansion. Teams should need to keep the regional rivalries intact. We should keep playing Auburn, TN, Fl, SC, & Vandy every year. Part of the tradition for UGA is every other year making the trek to Auburn, Columbia, Knoxville, JAX, & Nashville. There's no way on earth they are removing the annual Fl-GA game. I could see dropping Vandy but not playing Aub, SC, & TN is a a huge mistake. Even the 3-6 is terrible. So in that case we have to drop either SC or TN as a permanent rival.

We could always schedule them as an out of conference opponent every other year, so that we play them each year. Could maybe schedule that game in the Benz on neutral site too. I know it would suck and isn’t the same, but it would be an option.

Since they gave up the Am & TEx game already, I would bet the OU-TX game stays
Posted on 6/10/22 at 10:06 am to 3rddownonthe8
I agree. Texas/OU should definitely stay together.

Prolly cause 8-10 teams in a 16 team league will need the 8 game schedule so they can schedule 4 shite teams to get to 6 wins and bowl eligibility..
FML...

Shouldn’t even be our problem because they should stay their asses out west where they belong.

Kentucky, State and Arkansas are pushing 1-7
Alabama, Florida and aTm are pushing 3-6
This is based on an article from Kentucky sports
Surely Auburn and Georgia are pushing the 3-6 and LSU is rumored to as well
Is Tennessee the holdup? Are their candy asses pushing the 8 games thinking they get Vandy??
We need to find a way to do the 3-6 even if it means giving the weakest teams each other and we pick up either Tennessee, aTm, Bama or LSU instead of So Carolina

That's interesting. I'm glad we are pushing the 3-6. Maybe we could just go back and tell OU & Tex - "hey guys, we thought this thing through and we decided it's better idea if we don't add you guys." Personally I think if the SEC adds 2 teams it should be Clemson & FSU. That way UGA/Clemson could have their rivalry again and FSU - Florida would become a conference game. Still nothing like that had a chance because it would destroy the ACC.

We could schedule Auburn outside our conference mandated games.
North Carolina (I think) and Wake Forest scheduled a non-conference game last season.

I think Auburn wouldn't wnat to play us out of conference. I get the feeling their tired of playing us. I also get the feeling Florida is too. My brother-in-law is a huge Florida fan. The last 3 coaching regimes have taken a toll on him and my sister said he nearly stopped watching Florida games.
