Would you be in favor of a 10-Game SEC Schedule?

Hear me out...

**The SEC would only do this if the BIG 10 agreed to do the same. The Big 12 can't unless they expand, but pressure could also be put on the ACC and PAC 12 to follow suit. The Big 10, Big 12, and PAC 12 already play 9 conference games, so getting them to commit to 10 is not that big of a jump.

**The reason 10 works better than 9 is because it would allow the Divisions to be mixed up to provide more balance, but it would also protect all major rivalries.

CHANGE UP THE DIVISIONS:
Move Auburn to the East and Vandy to the West to help balance the leagues.
*Move Ole Miss to the East and Missouri to the West to make better geographical sense.

Going by the previous 16 seasons, this would give the West an average SP+ rating of 14.68 and the East an average rating of 13.12..... that's very close to balanced. Currently the West is at 16.13 and the East is at 11.65

TWO PERMANENT CROSS-DIVISION GAMES:
Alabama: Play Auburn & Tennessee annually
Arkansas: Play Ole Miss & S. Carolina annually
Auburn: Play Alabama & Mississippi St. annually
Florida: Play LSU & Vandy annually
Georgia: Play Texas A&M & Missouri annually
Kentucky: Play LSU & Missouri annually
Ole Miss: Play Mississippi St. & Arkansas annually
Miss St.: Play Ole Miss & Auburn annually
Missouri: Play Kentucky & Georgia annually
S. Carolina: Play Arkansas & Texas A&M annually
Tennessee: Play Alabama & Vanderbilt annually
Texas A&M: Play Georgia & S. Carolina annually
Vanderbilt: Play Tennessee & Florida annually

This would allow Alabama to keep playing both Auburn and Tennessee every year.
This would allow Mississippi State and Ole Miss to keep playing every year.... as well as Tennessee and Vanderbilt.

It would reignite the rivalries, annually, between Auburn & Florida... Auburn & Tennessee... as well as Missouri and Texas A&M.

ROTATION:
A full rotation of the schedule would take 10 years.... every team would play 8 opponents annually with the other 5 rotating.

For the rotating opponents, every team would play every other team FOUR times during a 10-year period.... twice at home and twice away. This would ensure every team playing every SEC opponent at least once every 3 seasons and in every SEC venue at least once every 6 seasons.

This would be much better than what we have currently.

THE REST OF THE SCHEDULE:
*I would say in addition to 10 conference games, I'd make a rule that each team had to play at least one Power 5 program OOC and I'd ban all FCS games completely.

If the BIG 10 agreed to implement a similar plan, every program with a realistic shot of winning the National Title would be playing a similarly difficult schedule with a few exceptions such as Clemson.... who already plays a joke schedule so it really wouldn't be any different.
