New SEC divisions and pods thread (Page 38 starts recent discussion)

Who else would we be tied to if not Arkansas and aggy, two historic rivals that we have a hell of a lot more history with than anyone else. LSU? Mizzou? Alabama? None of that was happening nor did it make sense for that to be the case.

We've played Arky what, 7 times in the past 34 years? Historical sure, but they weren't exactly chomping at the bit to play us. Aggy left 13 years ago, and we didn't play. We weren't in the same conference with OU for 60+ years, and still played them. One is not like the other 2.

And what’s your argument for a different rival, then?

I don't have anyone specific in mind, but shake it up! Maybe Tennessee? But they're tied up with UGa & Bammer. Fuck it, give us Kentucky and Vandy. Anyone but fucking insufferable aggy.

With only 3 OOC games scheduled 2026-29, we don't have to cancel any games.

CDC must be omniscient. (We gon' run it)

I hope we go from 2 to 1 G5 cupcake starting with 2030.  We should play one weak P5 and one mid to strong P5 every year in NC.

Going to 9 conference games is obviously good news.

Don’t be aggy and be afraid to play aggy….   Sure half their board sounds like you but they have a reason because we beat their ass in pretty much everything at a very high percentage historically.

The worst thing the SEC did at the beginning was make up contrived rivalries when they expanded

I like the idea of planting that Longhorn flag in North Carolina. You can rotate UNC and NCSU (mid), and Scar and Wake Forest (weak). Schedule the games at Bank of America Stadium. Conquer North Carolina and then pick a new state

the only thing left is the fcs abortion

That and forcing the ACC to stop being pussies as well. They’ve looked like bigger pussies the entire time. Someone needs them that time is up on both the 8 conference games and the non-scheduling of P4 opponents in the OOC.

This sucks so fucking much! The 9 game schedule is fine, but we're going to be tied to 2 hillbilly schools that aren't rivals, but "rivals." Fuck Arky & triple fuck aggy!

This is the kind of piss poor take I’d expect from a Jets fan.

Thought it was already widely reported the acc was following suit.

your hatred of aggy is a pretty good sign they're a rival.

Rival =/= Equal, btw

Says who? I’m cheering for it, but hadn’t seen it. 

Also, the P4 OOC requirement is a giant fuck you to the Big 10. Indiana, especially, can get fucked. OSU didn’t have one last year. I think multiple teams lack one this season year because the whole conference only has 12 scheduled.

Why is anyone bitching about this?

We'll play ou, aggy, and Arky every year, plus 6 others in a rotation (home and home, I'm assuming?).  

And I like the insistence that one of the OOC games remains a P4 opponent.

What exactly would have been better than this?  Because this sounds fucking great.

Name anyone not a jetsfan bitching about this.

Ross Dellenger. It’s been referenced in a lot of the tweets we’ve seen thus far. “Likely follow suit.”

We’re easy to figure out. The rest of the conference I don’t know.  Who is A&M going to get? Texas, LSU and Arkansas? OU? I’d imagine OU gets us, Mizzou and ? 

Auburn is gonna get screwed having to play Bama and Georgia every year plus someone like Florida or LSU.

Well that’s why I clarified. Only way it matters is that some Canadian that went to school in Austin fairly recently would have no idea about those two schools- hence his piss poor take. Just saying it’s founded in complete ignorance.

If they give A&M something like Mississippi State as their 3rd, that would suck. 

They're like 7-6 vs Miss State since joining the SEC.  When will you people ever learn that it doesn't matter?  You could hand A&M success served on a silver platter, and they'd trip over their untied shoelaces and dump it all over the floor.

aggy will get Texas, LSU, and Arkansas. Arkansas and aggy had the 10 game series at JerryWorld. It's not someone that should scare aggy since I can't recall Arkansas ever getting a win against them in this series. They have SWC history. It's also regional. 

OU will be the interesting one to watch. Texas and Mizzou is a given. The 3rd is harder to figure out. It will be another team that doesn't really have a firm 3rd traditional rival. I'm betting either South Carolina or Florida. LSU will get aggy, Ole Miss, and Mississippi State. I don't think the SEC is going to pair Bama and LSU. Bama won't want that since they already have Tennessee every year. Bama should get Miss State, Auburn, and Tennessee. 

I think this is a good gauge of what rivalries will stick around.

Finebaum said on his show today that he’s fairly certain Bama is getting Auburn, LSU and Tennessee. We both know if he’s saying that, he’s already been told. He said tv is playing a big role in helping with the matchups. It honestly sounded like a few teams, Mississippi State included, are going to get lucky because no one wants to see them on tv. He said he’d heard Vanderbilt, Kentucky and Ole Miss for MSU.

I dunno, I could get into watching aggy lose to Mississippi St on a semi-regular basis.

5M per team per year supposedly will be kicked in by ESPN. 

Taking that and canceling the FCS payday games of $1-$4M annually will make each program some pretty good money. Radio people are acting like they read that ESPN will be escalating once initial assumptions are validated.

I guess with no Saban to scare people, ESPN is now calling the shots. So LSU would get Bama, aggy, and Ole Miss?

If not Ole Miss, Arkansas, which is what LSU is pushing for, allegedly. Ole Miss might get through the sticky wicket with MSU, Arkansas and some other random.

I bet they use Mississippi State, Kentucky and Vanderbilt to divide up for the schools with two difficult rivals like Auburn. 

It's kind of crazy how some of these schools have been in the conference for decades and still don't really have any rivals.

Thats what was reported this morning if the SEC did it. All P4 leagues will have 9 conf games. Should make the future CFP format easier to negotiate

Bama and LSU games have huge TV audiences. That one won’t go away

Proud new Surly motto. Put it on the masthead.

Each team will face every other SEC program at least once every two years and every opponent home and away over four years.

For the non-rivals, I wish they had gone with the original Big 12 model where you played half the opposite division home and home in back to back years and then rotated.  I liked the immediate rematches without a year in between.  Just a minor quibble.

It's still a huge improvement that if a guy actually stays at a school all 4 years without transferring, he would play every team home and away.  It should go a long way to make it feel like you're actually in the same conference.  As opposed to things like Georgia and aggy.
