Bring Back Divisions or Create Pods

this 2 year bridge scheduling returned the SEC back to the pre-1992 expansion where random schedules with uneven amount of SEC games were what determined the SEC champion - it's a joke - in 2024 -

Texas plays 2 SEC games outside of TX - already played in Nashville - travel to Fayetteville -

compare that to Oklahoma's SEC schedule as far as first-year membership

Part of the reason it is unbalanced between Texas/OU is because Texas was the “road team” in that matchup this year.

Texas will feel the other end of that next year in only having 3 conference home games and 4 road (+1 neutral) The 8 game schedule really sucks for teams that play the neutral site games

Aww would you look at that? A Bama fan wanting divisions back because they beat LSU and want an easier path to Atlanta.

Win the games on your schedule and you won’t have to worry about being 5th in the SEC. Also the best teams are not always playing in Atlanta when you have divisions.

For example 2022:
Tennessee beat the top 2 teams from the west that year. Tennessee was also the 2nd best team in the SEC behind UGA and so happens the top 2 teams were in the East that year. So since they’re where divisions, LSU gets the nod instead of Tennessee and gets blown out by UGA. LSU would have been the 3rd team in the SEC that year had it been like it is now.

So my words to you, is cry some more and deal with it. Sorry you can’t have an unfair advantage anymore playing is weak west.

I agree 9 10 minimum or fuggedboutit

9 game conference schedule and pods solves a lot

I think this logjam at the top will be used as justification by the conference to move to a 9 game schedule

There is no issue, you're just a fricking dumbass.

But go ahead, add more losses to the conference so we can get less teams in the playoffs.

Nine games + a balanced three permanent rivals system solves most of these issues.

I’d personally rather have 10 conference games to keep home/away balanced, but doubt that’ll happen.

9 games = more conference losses = less teams ranked = less teams in the playoff = makes the conference look weak.

10 games is even worse. An SEC team might not ever win another NC.

You stupid fricks need to learn some basic math before telling the world about your "great ideas".

Fox is cutting a deal that will change college football forever.

Next you 25-30 will play for the Natty and the others will not even be given a chance to make playoffs. It will be a super conference of the elite and everyone else will be left by the wayside.

College football is over if they pull this off. Those 25-40 teams will be more of a semi pro league for the NFL.

Agreed

This is an AP voter. This is how these stupid fricks vote.

#4 BYU #72 SoS
#5 Indiana #103 SoS

Indiana has only .20 expected losses for an elite team. The average SEC team has played a schedule 5 and 6 times more difficult with numbers like 1.30 etc.

2 teams that have good records because of SoS. Because these voters aren't smart enough to apply SoS. They look at record before anything else.

And you stupid fricks think the SEC needs even more losses? Yeah, you're all retarded and you should feel bad about it.
