Most likely SEC scheduling model starting in 2024 is 3-6-6

[OldDevilDawg]

9 game conference schedule with 3 permanent rivals. The other 12 teams will rotate 6-6 each year allowing a Home and home against all conference teams every 4 years. No divisions. Top 2 play in the SECCG every year.

I like it.

I would prefer UGA have Florida, Auburn, and MissSt as permanent rivals. Swamp Lizards and Barners are obvious. MissSt because Dawgs versus Dawgs.

The obvious talking point will be who each team gets as permanent rivals.

 

[RuffledFeathers]

Does this include Texas and Oklahoma, that are coming in a year early in 2024?

Yes. They will officially be members on July 1st, 2024 so they will be on the SEC schedule for the 2024 season.

This is the best way to go with a 16 team conference. Pretty damn cool really…it will have inevitably uneven schedules, but it’s better than the random shit everyone does now.

 

[RuffledFeathers]

We'll probably get Texas and Oklahoma added to our existing A&M permanent.

You'll probably not see any of them. You'll get UGA, Kentucky, and Vanderbilt. I'm just guessing.

Bama’s three permanent have to be Tennessee, LSU and Auburn Cheating Trash

That's not bad and I am not bitching but would love to have Florida or LSU instead of Mississippi State.

This…isn’t bad. I hate losing Florida/LSU annually, and Tennessee got off light, but overall I can dig it.

Agreed. AU v UF makes more sense.

Tough to satisfy the whole crowd.

Id like Bama/UGA Please

Have Utn play SC instead. Heup vs Beamer.

That was a week I looked forward to pre SEC expansion. We used to have some great games. Now it is more about recruiting.

TBH, I am just now warming up to the pod system. The traditionalist in me wants Alabama and Auburn to move to the East and maintain divisions. Looking at the overall potential SEC schedule like the one posted ... I can see the advantages of pods. I do have to admit that the pod schedule evens out SOS in four year periods better than anything else.

16 teams with pods is a nice set up. Every 4 year player will have at least 1 home/away game against every team.

That is the part I am trying to embrace. Although I am a traditionalist with the divisions, I am at least accepting that they have kept the two best teams from playing in the SECCG and that is good for neither the teams or the game as a whole. By the time this and the expanded playoffs are in place, I will be fully on board and enjoying it even though I wished both were slightly different.

 

[Hard2Bluff]

I will miss playing SC every year if this is the case. We have a pretty good rivalry going.

 

[GhostInTheMachine]

I do like the SEC going to a 9 game conference schedule. But Bama and UGA need to play each other more than they do. Hopefully the SEC rotates conference opponents better than they did with the previous division format over the past decade. I enjoyed being able to see Bama play YGA in the regular season in 2020.

Exactly, let Bama and UGA play each year. UGA continues to dominate and Bama aint gonna slow down regardless of what the pundits say. Its still Fn Bama.
