My 2 division 3 year SEC schedule

Couple recent ships. You got to be there to win it. SOS may have a couple more if chips fell his way.

 

Apples and oranges, 12 team playoff if you're 1st in SEC you are in a least and HIGHLY likely a top 2 seed. I would rather have the week off. He's a jackwagon but Kiffen wasn't wrong when he said they didn't want to be in the SECCG.

 

Kiffen was the only one that didnt want the smoke and they got it snyway in tge Swamp. Real champions want all that smoke. Geor just wasnt a national champion last year. It wasnt tge sec championship that did them in, they just werent good enough last year.

 

Id like your way better than these loosided schedules affecting the invitations.

 

Meh, schedule difficulties are so imbalanced in the SEC that I don't put as much merit or importance on the SECCG as it once had. That's just me though, others may still hold it up as really important.

As far as UGA last year, if it were UF to get to the SECCG and DJ were to go down for the playoffs, the opinions on here would shift real damn quick.

 

I agree with the quads or pods with 9 games it's IMO a no brainer most logical way to rotate through the conference. I just liked his approach to the playoff question.

Paraphrasing he only puts in P4 teams because BYU (who of course is now P4) was the last non P5 to win a natty in like 1981. The Championship games become play in games, which REWARDS the best regular season teams with not having to play in them. All playoff games except NC are homefield to the lower seed, love this one personally as I thought the first round at home stadiums was the best part of that round and again adds weight to every regular season game to get home field advantage.

 

We got there a few times and didnt belong in that game. Sec champs have a pretty good record. We got put in our place a couple times. Better to find out before the real game.

 

my opinion is if DJ doesn't play, we don't win much like the Florida State dip shits that complained. If you get smoked in the SEC championship, you're not a championship team. The SEC Champion has a pretty damn good record after that

 

I don't like the pods unless the SECG is eliminated. How do you determine the Pod winner (pod games only or all SEC games?) If the former, you might get a Pod winner that has a 3-6 SEC record. If the latter, you might get a Pod winner with a 6-3 SEC record having lost every game in its pod. You might even get about 8 SEC teams with a 2-1 Pod record. Then, if the SECG exists you have the dilemma of picking 2 of the 4 pod winners to go to that game. 2 of which get the shaft. The pods make little sense if you are trying to establish a true SEC champion, which at one time "just meant more."

IF the SECG has to stay (it does according the SEC coffers), then the much better solution is to actually geographically split the SEC into 2 eight team divisions with a 9 game schedule. Each team plays every team in its division (7 games) which would create a more legit division champ and 2 games from the other division that rotates annually. The only team in the SEC that would lose what they might consider a traditional rival is LSU which would lose Bama. Every other big rivalry would be maintained.

 

Pods would need to be a four team playoff to make any sense. Go back to two divisions and add a ninth game would be my preference

 

There are simply too many teams to have a truely fair selection. Last year Texas SEC opponents record was 24-40. UF was 35-29.

Sacrificing playing other SEC teams to just twice a decade in order to keep the SECCG is a loser IMO. I reference the last time UF visted Albarn was year 1 of Muschamp.

 

The only thing i dont like is the loosided schedles each year. It all evens out in three years but you can still end up with our schedule like this year. Missouri going 7-1 sec isnt the same thing as us going 7-1.

 

Unless we ay everyone in our division every year, records are not equal and a championship is a bit arbitrary.

 

Would it not be possible for a east team with a 7-0 east record to be 0-2 (7-2 overall) vs west and a 6-1 east to be 2-0 vs west (8-1 overall)? Is the east only record considered for the SECCG?

I circle back to the ultimate goal being playoffs and NC. I would rather win a playoff game than the SECCG, again that's my opinion, but I don't think I'm alone in that. Rewarding top finishers in SEC with direct inclusion to playoffs and changing the SECCG to a play in game to me is a win win.
