I was probably wrong when I spent years advocating for abolishing divisions

The lack of round robin gives uneven schedules and a complete crapshoot as to who gets into the conference championship games. Plus, a whole bunch of rivalries and annual games that have existed for years are gone. I thought it was cool that we missed out on Alabama, LSU, and Auburn before the season, but now I wish we'd just played them like we have every year of my life.

I really hope they adopt one of these ~70 team super league proposals with smaller divisions, round robins, and objective W/L records determining who gets in.

It’s going to be hilarious when the Super League forms and recreates a 10 team SEC, along with all the other regional conferences that came about organically a hundred years ago.

BTW, I’m still fuming about the SEC running back the ‘24 schedule next season. Who knows what teams will look like next year but it’s ******** that we’ve got to play Tex, A&M and Ga again, instead of Auburn, LSU, etc.

Yea. The lazy flip flop is ridiculous. Us and Florida get punished for a 2nd year in a row while Ole Miss gets another cake walk. Their hardest road games next season will be Georgia, Oklahoma and Kentucky. Brutal. :(

If we had a good team coming back, especially on defense, that ‘25 home schedule would be lit - UGa, Tex, Tenn, and OM. Instead, Lebby brings back Hutzler and the rest of the clowns and we’ll see lots of opposing fans filling up DWS looking for an easy win.

The SEC and Big 10 aren't going anywhere, including merging into a super conference. That'd be stupid on their part. They run CFB, they're not going to secede any ground, if anything they will add a couple more teams to become even more powerful. To me, UNC is the prize.

We got absolutely raped with the schedule. We could potentially play four playoff teams this year, and play all of them on the road. Texas, Georgia, Tennessee, Ole Miss. Meanwhile, Texas has played one team with a SEC record over .500 and lost to that team. The lack of scheduling parody makes the SEC Championship game basically a sham.
