SEC 'Leaning Heavily' Toward Scrapping Divisions
- Thread starter king_kong_
- Start date
And yet somehow, Alabama and Georgia will still never play each other. i think they've only played twice in the regular season in the past 14 years. Way to protect each other. Playing 9 games in conference may help but adding two new team will make it worse.
With the addition of OU and tejas moving in, there is no reason why they shouldn’t be playing 9 conference games like everyone else..
Not counting SEC and national title games they have meet 6 times during the regular season since 2000.
Only the teams that win on a more than regular basis will be on the inside the next round of the transformation of CFB.
Nebraska needs to start hiring like it means more than for school pride.
We all know it's heading for further refinement.

The whole conference expansion deal is all about money. The geography makes no sense and it has killed some great rivalries
I can too. The question is will they then create schedules to give them a lot of marquee matchups or will USC play Indiana the same number of times they play OSU?

I'd like to see this in the Big 10 sooner than later even if it meant OSU and Michigan play two consecutive games. For whatever reason divisions get unbalanced more often than not and you end up with a mismatch for the championship game. I would also allow the teams at the top of the conference to opt out of the game if it would hurt their position in the playoff and go to the next in line in the conference rankings until you get two teams willing to play. Surely then we'd get the Nebraska/Northwestern rematch we've been waiting for.
I'm just waiting for somebody to give the Big 12 its proper due as groundbreaker in the case of zero division P5 football
A conference had to have 12 teams to have divisions..Hints the reason why they don’t…
Frankly, if the playoff moves to 16 teams, which seems like it will… I don’t care if tje big dogs play each other every year. But, they should have a system that mandates you play all the teams that aren’t on your schedule is a given season in the next season. So, there would never be 2 consecutive seasons of not playing a conference for at least once.
I am not sure what the B1G will do as far as scheduling

Don’t know why some are so keen to dictate how the SEC schedules their games. They routinely have 2 heavy weights in their conf championship game and take up 2 of the 4 spots in the playoff and win national titles.
Year after year following the regular season the SEC has their teams in the highest profile games.
Seems like they have it figured out
