    Even if they go to 9 conference games we could still play OOC teams, just have to schedule them opposite FSU.
    Something like this, using Utah as an example

    Year 1: Home: SEC1, SEC2, SEC3, SEC4, FSU, Cupcake..Away: SEC5, SEC6, SEC7, SEC8, Utah Neutral: Georgia
    Year 2: Home: SEC5, SEC6, SEC7, SEC8, Cupcake, Utah..Away: SEC1, SEC2, SEC3, SEC4, FSU Neutral: Georgia

    I like that schedule...it just represents a permanent 6 game home schedule while 7 home games have been the the rule in most of the last 30 years. Does UF want to give up that extra ticket revenue.

    ..and there it is, the boyz in Birmingham already charted and plotted the 2024 schedules. I would bet a large sum that they won’t have Alabama & Georgia playing each other, in the regular season.

    One team could face the top 3 in the country while another faces none. Schedule determines that? At least with a 12 team playoff, it’ll be settled on the field.

    That sounds pretty good. Get rid of the cupcake and we would have a real football schedule.

    Funny comments, especially from Arkansas fans. Guess they are tired of coming to Gville.

    Did the SEC just dissolve the divisions in the SEC? I mean... this is truly dumb if true.

    Have to think if Kramer or Slive were still running things then this is settled instead of this kick it down the road crap, when Arky and USCe join in 92 there was whining about the schedule, everyone was told to shut up and get on board.

    Yes sir . . . starting in 2024.

    SEC to play eight conference games but eliminate divisions for 2024 season once Texas, Oklahoma join

    Here's something important:

    The eight games will be randomly assigned based on "fairness and balanced," according to commissioner Greg Sankey, who added that consideration will be given to traditional rivalries, such as Alabama vs. Auburn and Florida vs. Georgia.

    That will probably never happen again with this dopey no division format. SEC will pick its expected two top contenders every year and ensure they don't play until Atlanta.

    Well we just morphed back the days where AL would play the two Mississippi schools, Auburn, Vandy, LSU, and Tennessee and go pick up their SEC title. Disgusting that when the NCAA is finally actually trying to determine a true champion with a playoff the SEC is in full reverse mode.

    He might. They'll educate him about burner phones and NIL will take care of the rest.

    Yes, KronoGator, looks like the Big Ten got down to business and worked out a pretty good plan. Makes us, (SEC) look a bit inept. Uh, maybe I should replace “a bit” with “pretty damned”.

    The big ten has their tv deal and the sec is working on theirs. I don’t think it’s that they can’t make up their minds, they just won’t play the ninth game for free.
