The 6-3 model for a 9 game schedule for the SEC has been the most popular for over a year. What I posted about the logistics of pulling it off a year early came straight from Greg Sankey. <<<<Top dog conference president. In 2024, UGA will play 8 conference games. They will start the season versus Clemson and finish the season versus Georgia Tech. That's 10 P-5 opponents.
I think I read something about Sankey wanting to go to a 9 game conference schedule. But too many SEC teams shot it down. I believe it said a lot of them were worried about bowl rligibility on a 9 game conference schedule. Personally I have always thought 6-6 is too low for bowl eligibility at least 7-6 imo. But these teams do know hey are manipulating the system. As a fan of the sport I want to see an even playing field. Which would mean all conferences play either 8 or 9 conference games. Preferably 9 to raise the quality of games.
I think that no matter what anyone does, we will always have whiny bitches that just want something to bitch about.
I believe that has more to do with the modern day culture of participation trophies and taking the east way out. Raise the stakes and competition level. When you work hard and earn something it just means more .
That sounds a lot like what Kirby is preaching to his players. It has worked twice. We'll see how it works going forward.
I could be wrong but I think Kirby UGA may have been in the minority that voted in favor of a 9 game conference schedule recently. The others complained about bowl eligibility and increasing injuries. Which makes no sense injuries are a risk during any football game. I could see if they were complains about an unnecessary risk like playing on turf. But complaining about an extr as conference gam is absurd imo
Well done. Well done.Playing an 8 game conference schedule gives SEC teams more quality OOC games.
IMHO now it is the worst of both worlds. Neither divisions nor rivalries ... I would be satisfied with either the 3-6-6 model or moving Bama and Auburn to the East with Mizzou, OU, and TX to the West.
Or later. But I think it will happen anyway.
But will 10 - 2 be enough to get Bama into the CFP this year.
To whom do we lose?
LSU and a team tbd.
Hmm... SC has eight SEC conference games and the taters every year? You calling the taters a weak OOC opponent?Playing an 8 game conference schedule allows SEC teams the ability to schedule more quality OOC games.
That gives SCAR nine regular season P5 opponents.
