November 10, 20241 yr Author Seems like SEC might end up with a valid argument for 5 teams in CFP playoffs. Horns might need to win out to secure a place in the CFP. Two losses won't guarantee a CFP invite...

November 10, 20241 yr SEC final the three talking heads ranked top five only one had A&M on their list at #5…. Texas #1 in two and #2 in the other. Doesn’t matter games have to be played but most think of the top 5, A&M most likely to be left out.

Two losses won't guarantee a CFP invite... My concern is that if Texas loses to Arky or Kentucky, it’s a bad loss; whereas if we lose to A&M, Texas ends up with no ranked wins. There aren’t many scenarios where a two-loss Texas has a clearly better résumé than some other two-loss SEC teams. Nevertheless, Tennessee and UGA play, so UGA could drop to three losses. Also, Texas being ranked #3 on Tuesday will help from an anchoring standpoint. Even with another loss, Texas may not fall far unless it’s a really bad outcome. The issue will be if Texas has two losses and is tied with (and behind a one-loss team) four other teams (Tennessee/UGA, A&M, Ole Miss, and Bama). It’s gets murky, because all four arguably do have better wins than Texas. TL;DR: just fucking win out. Edited November 10, 20241 yr by MuellerHorn

November 10, 20241 yr Author Yeah, blOU and michigan sucking really hurts the Longhorns resume -- no wins against current Top 25 teams since vandy lost vs cocks.
November 10, 20241 yr Another 11am game? At least it’s not at night in that place. Could have looked a lot like the Tennessee game.
November 10, 20241 yr Wait Mercer? Murray St? New Mexico State? In mid November? man fuck this conference.

Makes the most sense 2 divisions however you want to split it. play the other 7 teams in your division home and away. Play 2 from the other division home and away and rotate through(like we used to do similar in the Big 12). sure it’ll take a while to work through all the other division. But it makes much more sense this this “draw a team out a hat” crap. Heck even if you did pods you could do exactly like the nfl. Play the 3 in your pod. 4 from another pod. And the team that finished the same spot as you from the other 2 pods(might never see some teams that way but oh well). Edited November 10, 20241 yr by Drew

I like the no divisions, 3 protected rivalries (0u, aggy, and pig), and home & homes with errbody every 4 years plan.

So there would be 3 constants. And 6 other teams for a 9 conference game schedule. Leaving 6 we don’t play until every 3rd/4th years basically rotating through the entire conference every 4 years. that works really good too. Basically the POD set up. Without the NFL type seeding schedule. Edited November 10, 20241 yr by Drew

Similar, but the 3 perma-rivals don't have to be the same for everyone, so not a full pod set-up. No need for A&M to play OU and Arkansas every year just because those are our historical rivals, instead the ags' three could be Texas, LSU, and Miss State or somebody. OU could have Texas, Missouri, and Florida. LSU could have A&M, Ole Miss, and Alabama. And then you do home/away with 6 for two years, and switch to the other 6 for this next 2 years. Some folks were referring to this setup as 3+6+6.

Somehow, you've forgotten about the aggy vs USCe rivalry for the prestigious (made-up) Bonham Trophy
November 10, 20241 yr Kentucky is the most schizo team this year. they seem to have a good defense, play Georgia to almost a draw, but then they give up 48 to a not good Florida team. I'm probably a little more concerned about them at home than Arky especially the week before aggy. the O seems not good but not sure why.
November 10, 20241 yr 3/6/6 is best obviously, but the three big roadblocks have been 1) Bama (ne Saban) complaining that their 3 perm rivals were harder than everyone else (Auburn, Tenn, Georgia/LSU?), and 2) the small schools like MSU, UK, Vandy, SCAR wanting an easier path to bowl eligibility that comes from feeding on that 4th cupcake, and obviously 3) the $$$ that comes from hosting a cupcake is big - even after paying them to take the L, the home school gets all that ticket and concessions gate. Until Disney ponies up for the 9th game, the money makes more sense to host a directional school vs. giving up a home game every other year to a conference matchup if the TV-money is held equal. I think news reports said that Sankey was able to get over the Bama concerns but there was a roughly even divide between bigger/smaller schools with regard to the 8 vs. 9 game SEC schedule. SEC likes unison on decisions (or the appearance of unison), so it would not surprise me to see us stick w/ 8 games for another 2-year cycle. Edited November 10, 20241 yr by Horn of Gabriel

They held Georgia to 12 because Georgia's offense is awful.

November 11, 20241 yr Funny how Texas and Florida were left out. But the Vandy Pimp from the game/fans was pretty nice.
November 11, 20241 yr I feel we're rarely going to be featured unless we fall on our faces. But if we can win the SEC in our first year, that should make for some great content.
November 11, 20241 yr Author Separation Saturday in the SEC: Bama is that team. Ole Miss was more what?? Texas just keeps on...

There was also the issue of Texas and OU favored the 9 game schedule but didn’t get a vote. The next time this comes up that is 2 more votes for 9, and I think it will swing it.

I think thats a chicken and egg thing, obviously they are not going to offer the 9th game without more money. I just can’t imagine a world where the mouse won’t pay for a 9th conference game and would rather show games against Mercer this weekend.
November 11, 20241 yr that was a much better showing than sec shorts this week. love the secret squirrel
November 12, 20241 yr I believe there’s a pretty viable scenario where’s a 7 way tie for 2nd place if we beat aggy. People are going to lose tiebreakers, get butthurt, and maybe 9 games finally fucking happens in 2026. The Cover 3 guys made a pretty compelling argument for the 16 team leagues all playing 10 conference games. It would eliminate a lot of these conference tie scenarios.
