SEC staying at 8 games

Keeping the cross division rival and teams must schedule one game against another major conference opponent.

personally i'd have liked to see 9 but whatever

 

Cuts bowl percentages.

 

Until this model keeps a team out of the playoff, it will be kept. Guarantee 7 home games a year for every school.

 

Why did you lock the thread when you replied?

 

Because I screwed up.

 

Amateurs.

 

I don't like the idea that teams are "required" to schedule a non-conference game against one of the other big conferences. This is apparently Florida [itch bay]ing about FSU and South Carolina with Clemson. Florida sure is hell doesn't mind the location advantage they have in recruiting over other SEC schools. Yes, Florida, your schedule may be a little tougher but you have better players in your back yard so shut the **** up. South Carolina has more of a gripe in this department but it shouldn't be enough to force everyone else to accommodate with their schedule. Now, with all that being said, Tennessee schedules tough OOC anyway but it shouldn't be forced when the SEC schedule is tough enough.

 

Won't matter. Auburn and UGA are probably racing to contact Kansas, Indiana, Minnesota, etc. Those guys aren't appreciably better than the crap they normally schedule.

 

Can't overlook Colorado and Wash St.

 

Georgia is already scheduling Georgia Tech.

 

The rule about scheduling a bcs conference team isn't bad, but I'd rather them ban scheduling fcs teams.

 

I'd love to see both.

I don't care, play as many MAC and Sun Belt teams as you want, but there is no reason to ever play APSU again.

 

Yeah, FCS games are a complete joke. Ban em. BAN EM!

 

Me too. They are a complete waste of time

 

Hates freedom.

 

Only if I get to be Head Overlord for Life. And if my wife says it is OK.

 

Those that live in houses that hosted NC St and Cincinnati as premier OOC games probably should throw stones.

 

I think Tennessee has plenty of high ground to stand on on this one.

 

Both are going to get better.
