New SEC divisions and pods thread (Page 38 starts recent discussion)
Seems too complicated vs just having two 8 team conferences

Hopefully just replaces a tier 1 Pac/Big/ACC nonconf game though

Your last point is actually an amazing idea given the only cross pod rivalries are UT/A&M and Auburn / UGA if the pods shake out like we think. Just use one of 3 nonconf slots to keep the game

See my example below. Each orange column effectively plays the same non-pod schedule and each white column does as well. The issue is (and I suppose to your point) - in this example OU and UT wouldn't play the same non-pod schedule unless on the same "sequence" (like Texas and Mizzou are on the same sequence in this example). You'd have to have them on the same sequence or simply weight inter-pod games at 2x or something to decide pod champs

You could say the same thing about the 2 per pod setup. Have 2 pods play the same same 2 teams inter pod

Play 2 teams per pod and you'd play each team in your conference home and away every 4 years. Which is how it should be imo

Yep. If every conference pod champ plays each other you'd effectively have a 16 team playoff to start with. The issue would be good teams screwed out of being #1 in pod due to tiebreak or something. Solution to that would be for a wildcard for each 2-pod division 24 teams in "playoff" with top 8 teams getting a bye. Then you go to 16/8/4/2

The only way would be ESPN paying more $ Bama / Citadel won't give the ratings an annual Bama / UT or Bama / OU matchup will bring. Multiply that across the conference and the knowledge that this new SEC is pretty much guaranteed at least 1/3 of the playoff slots each year and that should assuage some concerns. Seeing Florida, Auburn, Georgia, LSU, etc playing UT and OU (and each other inter-pod) every other year has to get the moneymen to perk up

Four pods of 4 plus a 10 game conference schedule allows for one permanent cross division rival while playing each team in the conference home and home every four years 3 intra pod 1 permanent cross pod 2 games against teams from each 3 other pods, alternating each year, for 6 games. If this overlaps with your permanent cross pod rival, you simply play another team among the 3 pods, likely according to SoS Keeps the Georgia / Auburn hardliners happy and allows 2 non-conf games

For Pierce Rule #1: If there is a slight hint that pulling the pitcher might be the right move, then pull the pitcher Rule #2: If you or the pitching coach have to go to the mound, pull the fucking pitcher you goddamn fucking retard

It takes someone special to be as bad with game managing as Pierce

Greg Davis is to lateral yardage as Pierce is to keeping pitchers in too long

2021 Texas Offseason: Sark Attacks Austin
I don't get the "he was bad at UW" argument He took a team that went a combined 12-47 in the five years prior, capped by an 0-12 season right before he took over, then goes 35-27 in the five years after while restocking the cupboard. Four bowl games, and 9-4 record to cap things off before the keys got turned over to Petersen

Yeah, I quoted this in my initial post. There's nothing that says the buyout magically drops the day after though

I'm trying to figure out if that is an actual fact or not, as I haven't been able to find out via the Google
