📡 UPDATE: SEC decides to remain at 8 league games in 2024 when Oklahoma & Texas join league, SEC's Greg Sankey says

[UAgrad93]

Here’s a potential 1+8 model with Barn as permanent game and going alphabetically down the line.
Arky, UF, UGA, Kentucky, LSwho, Miss St, Ole Miss, and Missouri for say year 2025.
2026 would be Barn plus. Oklahoma, USCe, Viles, Texas, A&M, Vandy, Arky, UF.
2027 Barn plus UGA, Kentucky, LSwho, Miss St, Ole Miss, Missouri, Oklahoma, and USCe.
If you wanted, work your way from the bottom up.

I actually like the 1+ model

I could buy what ur selling on future schedule

Would keep me buying STs

Alabama won't be on top forever and we will eventually be the Missouri or South Carolina to someone else's schedule.

Hmmm can't agree that Bama even in its worst years would be someones Mizzou or USCe... I guess it is theoretically possible. Maybe during the sanction years but that is the exception.

If you wanted 2+ model, add Viles with Barn and go from there. Either way, you will rotate thru the conference twice within a four year period.

I could care less about this.

Ha ha, Alabama ain't always on top. We've had some bad years just like everyone else.

But they don’t last long. The fans won’t put up with the coach or administration that allow poor (for Alabama) performance.

I never said how long it would last, but even doing it one season proves my point.

Indeed but not Mizzou/South Carolina bad except for the sanction years.

Vandy even had a “good” year or two under Franklin.

Vandy even had a “good” year or two under Franklin.

And beat tenn repeatedly. And recently

I see very little difference between msu n AU.

Are you serious?

AU has been to ATL six times. MSU, once.
AU has won the SEC eight times. MSU, once, in 1941.
MSU does have an unclaimed national title in '40. Auburn has four, and has won two.

But, very little difference between the two?

A little side note I find interesting ...

I'm sure you've seen people talk about how the ninth game should impact the SEC's agreement with ESPN: "more money, " they say.

Have you considered that ninth game would result in ESPN losing inventory?

16 teams playing OOC opponents / 16 games to broadcast.
16 teams in conference play / 8 games to broadcast.

Great for the C-USA. Yea. Pathic

It's only for 2024. The debate on how to get to nine will continue.

So what will change. The low ballers will still keep the control and stay at 8.

Msu only has 4 losing seasons since 2004
And 1 10+ win
Much like AUs record

So au has had a COUPLE better seasons

But not all that muuch. Say as compared to lsu
They are mid level


Mid level teams

I like the 1 permanent game with 8 other SEC games and rotate through the league. The 2+ isn’t bad either. Just play more SEC teams on a regular basis.
