🏈 I was an eight game guy and started considering nine; until. I'm firmly eight.

Seeing so many of the coaches say they don't want to move to the nine game schedule? It was just the nail in the coffin.

The lid was closed when the SEC announced they were moving away from divisions and implemented the new tie-breakers while taking the conference back several decades.

A point I've yet to see anyone refute. Two teams, tied, and both played nine games. One with five at home; the other with five on the road. And here's what decides ...

1. Head-to-head competition among the tied teams
2. Record versus all common Conference opponents among the tied teams
3. Record against highest (best) placed common Conference opponent in the Conference standings, and proceeding through the Conference standings among the tied teams
4. Cumulative Conference winning percentage of all Conference opponents among the tied teams
5. Capped relative total scoring margin versus all Conference opponents among the tied teams
6. Random draw of the tied teams
