Compare that to our schedule and there schedule is weaker...even if we play the same mutual opponents of bamar and UGA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gr82b4au 5,568 Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Reminds me of back in the day when we used to play Tennessee, Florida, Alabama, and Georgia every year. The true amen corner was Florida, Georgia, and Alabama. Of course, Georgia was nowhere near the dominating power that they are now. Even Alabama wasn’t as strong. Now it is just blatantly unfair but it is what it is and at some point it will all equal out… in 10-20 years. Hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravejd 3,272 Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 I kind of agree if you have one big conference why play the SEC championship? Just award it to best record and increase regular season game count. With top teams making playoffs and playoffs going longer I’m guessing conference championships are a thing of the past. Look forward to seeing how they divvy up these permanent rivals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha Yeah, let's just cross our fingers and pray that happens in the next decade--instead of you know lobbying to make things easier for us in the here and now. I'm under no delusion that we're dropping Georgia but once every two years is good enough for all other powers in the league, thank you very much! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Systems 177 Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Isn't some level of 4 team pod format needed to align schedules into predictable, playable match-ups? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually heard on ESPN last Tuesday, where Kirk and Joey Galloway said that LSU could win out and win the SEC championship and miss out on the playoff to Tennessee and Georgia. That's ridiculous and makes the championship meaningless, especially when the team that benefits the most is the 1-loss Tennessee that doesn't have to play in it. (So in that way, I guess I'm agreeing with you). I just think instead of abolishing it, we make it matter. The fact we have a conference championship that doesn't help the winner and actively punishes the loser is broken. Make it an auto bid. Kinda like 2011 and 2017 when Alabama won the National Title but didn't even win their own division in conference. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUFiend 67 Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 got this from elsewhere, but supposedly this is the format they're looking at going with: 1) Everyone plays 9 SEC games 2) Everyone gets 3 permanent SEC rivals 3) The other 6 teams will be assigned randomly 4) The 2nd season, you will play the other 6 teams you didn't play the season before. 5) After 2 seasons, each team would have played every team in the SEC. Then the cycle starts over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I think they’ll do to try to get some kind of schedule balance is I think they will have each of the big nine schools play two of the other big nine schools every year as permanent. And then of the six remaining big nine schools they would probably have each of the big nine rotating three of the other big nine schools every year. For example, with Auburn we would play Bama and Georgia every year and year one we play Florida, LSU, and Oklahoma. Year 2 we play Tennessee, Texas, and Texas A&M. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
