Against. We certainly should go to a 9 team schedule, but we should play everyone home and away in no more than a 4 year time span. Amazes me at the number of people who hate being part of the entire SEC and just want a scheduling agreement with a separate conference.

But it does echo our origins. For years the SEC was a group of separate cliques that didn't play the same number of conference games and in some instances rarely played each other.

how the conference championship games fit into this new world?

The winner of a P4 championship game will be seeded 1-4 and get a first round bye regardless of record or quality of conference. No matter how good Notre Dame is, the highest they could be seeded in the tournament is 5 as long as they are not in a P4 conference.

It's the right thing to do (if they do it) to not penalize the loser if both teams were slated to make the playoffs before the game. If only one team was slated, then the game should be considered a playin game. A conference should not be able to better or hurt it's position (other than maybe overall seeding in the tournament) because of an extra post season game.

and T-Bob snapping the ball early, iirc


It wasn't early. It was just in the nick of time. He saw the time expiring and knew he had to snap the ball, ready or not.

I love that it is 3rd down and there's 25 seconds left. Normally plenty of time to clock the ball. Plenty of time to even just run another play. Somehow Les screwed both of those things up.


Once a play starts the game doesn't end at 00:00, but when the play is finished (assuming no penalty). T-Bob snapped the ball at :03, meaning that there was fraction more than 3 secs remaining. Watch any football game; that's actually quite a bit of time.

T-Bob didn't see shite. He didn't know how many TN players were on the field and he didn't see the clock. He simply did not trust his QB.

Crowton was the immediate cause with his stupid play calling that required substitutions.

Miles has overall responsibility for not have his staff prepared for this obvious situation.

T-Bob couldn't hold his water and got lucky that TN bailed us out. His only defense is that was a long time to hold water, but he should have.
The power 4 winners get a first round bye in the playoffs regardless of ranking. It's the losers of the championship games that get screwed.
Here is the detailed official tie-breaker rules with examples:

quote:

T-Bob and other team members have publicly stated he snapped the ball to avoid what happened in Ole Miss in 2009.

Don't care what they say, the film don't lie. He snapped too early and would have cost us the game if not for TN.

Barbe and Sam Houston are in Acadiana?

Apparently that's how it's legally defined. What you or I would think of Acadiana is the Cajun Heartland. From Wiki (See link for map):
quote:

In 1971, the Louisiana State Legislature officially recognized 22 Louisiana parishes and "other parishes of similar cultural environment" for their "strong French Acadian cultural aspects".[13] It made "The Heart of Acadiana" the official name of the region, although the term Acadiana is the more common name for the region.[14] The official term appears on regional maps and highway markers.

quote:

The relative total scoring margin will be determined by a formula that involves a team’s offensive and defensive scoring averages relative to its actual scores against SEC teams. A team’s formula will include a cap of 42 points scored on offense and 48 points allowed on defense.


quote:

The conference is still without a permanent football scheduling format. The SEC will continue with eight games this season and at least in 2025, with home-and-away opponents for 2024 being flipped for next season.

There was an unannounced penalty--probably illegal procedure or something. It was 1st and 15 after the incompletion.

It's based on the book "Shogun" by James Clavell which is a fictionalized version of history. Wiki would probably have details as to how much license was taken.

All of Sunday is a quiet period (only on campus face to face meetings). The dead period starts midnight Monday.

re: Any Updates?

Any in home would have to be completed by 12am Sunday due to the quiet period Sunday and dead period afterwards.
