I think if we play, that's the only way to make it work. Personally, sign me right up for an all SEC season. Just saw that news. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/29435295/source-big-ten-moving-conference-only-model-all-sports-fall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just skim this thread and it's easy to see why this went the wrong way. Failures of leadership, yes, but also failures of personal and social responsibility. I guess we won’t just be “playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUBwins 10,074 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 This conference only scheduling could be a great opportunity to play some rivals we aren't scheduled to see for years. So are conferences talking about regular season only, or only holding conference championships with no national playoff? Maybe, just maybe, we could have a conference champions only tournament to determine a national champion. Perfect year for a trial run, obviously if things have steadied themselves in December. Could be the catalyst to open playoff talks in future. Since it seems previous rules/ contracts mean nothing this year. Just looking at way to be resourceful with the season. Personally would love for Auburn to win a one time only ultimate championship. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Win4AU 4,052 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I just hope people don’t lose their minds if Auburn goes .500 in conference only games. Ole Miss, Miss State, and Arkansas are all installing new everything but Auburn should win those regardless. The rest could go either way. UNC was making me nervous and they’ll probably get moved out 5 years or more. “No Doubt” Mack will have them Clemson level by then. No way Gus gets canned when most schools are just trying to figure out how to pay for sports. 2021 though.... could be pretty, pretty good.

CleCoTiger 1,957 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Statement from the commissioner of the SEC about an hour ago as reported on the Paul Finebaum Show: "The SEC will continue to meet regularly with our campus leaders in the coming days, guided by medical advisers to make the important decisions necessary to determine the best path forward related to the SEC's fall sports. We recognize the challenges ahead and know the well being of our student athletes, coaches, staff and fans must remain at the forefront of those decisions." - SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey, July 9th, 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlaskanFAN 1,665 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Man you think Butch had a hard time with the baseball roster when the NC2A gave the season back, imagine what is gonna happen to Gus with 25 incoming freshman and a group of redshirt seniors and a group of seniors. Talk about the transfer portal being utilized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAG 33,964 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I honestly will enjoy the only conference schedule. Hopefully we can add more conference foes to replace the OOC games. That way we can see who really has the juice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baseball players moving around isn't very noticeable to people other than the team members, coaches and serious fans. Football has way more serious fans. The shakeup will be to all schools across the board, but it will be not just a shakeup, it will be an upheaval of the college sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take out just 1 of those 2s, and you reduce it greatly. That’s why we wear the mask. And as for immunity from getting it, new reports show some folks repeat catching the virus in as little as 1 month later. We aren’t even at the half way point in this pandemic yet. Stay safe and protect others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
