SEC remains at 8 conference games

[The Crimson King]

SEC football schedule stays at eight league games

I don't know about this though. Would they seriously move those games to the end of the season?

Also Sunday, the SEC decided on permanent cross-divisional yearly football rivalries, matchups that will provide "each team with a traditional opponent for the final weekend of the season," according to the league. They will be: Alabama (West) vs. Tennessee (East), Arkansas (West) vs. Missouri (East), Auburn (West) vs. Georgia (East), LSU (West) vs. Florida (East), Ole Miss (West) vs. Vanderbilt (East), Mississippi State (West) vs. Kentucky (East) and Texas A&M (West) vs. South Carolina (East).

Ridiculous! Keep the 8 games, fine. But they're going to move The Third Saturday in October to......the 4th Saturday in November? Seriously...wtf?! Bama vs Auburn needs to stay the last game for each team. Stupid idea to move those rivalries to the end of the season.

Well there goes the Third Saturday in October...?

 

[4down20]

I like staying to 8 games.

But that which is quoted is lame. Especially since the SECCG is 1 week later and now we have the possibility of a rematch 2 weeks in a row.

WTF are these guys thinking? If anything they should want to make sure there are no east vs west games on the last game of the season.

Wait, what? When is the iron bowl going to be played?

History and tradition mean jack shit today. It's all about the money. If the conference can make an extra buck, they won't give two shits about anything else.

 

[potzer25]

How would UA v TN make more than the iron Bowl??? Plus they could be setting up seccg repeat 1 week after regular season game. Dumb idea is dumb.

 

[4down20]

I think it's all a big scam to bring Alabama and Auburn fans together and agreeing with other.

That makes it suck even more.

Yeah, just wait until the Big 12 moves Oklahoma-Texas to December...

It's a test to see if we still want the iron bowl after the suggestions of canceling it a few years again.

Hmmmm, I don't see that happening, however, I could see the Big 12 urging both schools to move the game to JerryWorld to make an extra buck.

It will be don't see it changing.

Believe me, if the Big 12 can move the game to JerryWorld it'll only be a matter of time before they try to move the scheduling of it too.

How in the flying fuck is this going to increase our SOS? We already play one team from the other major conferences every year pretty much, as long as all those high school teams that nobodies heard of are still there, then the schedule sucks.

Did I miss something?

UGA Auburn play at the end of the season anyways usually. 2nd to last week that is

Potzer is right, even in down years Bama-Auburn would bring in more than Tn-Bama or AU-UGA. Surely that is just something they threw out there to get the fans' reaction, I hope it is anyway.

 

[theSabanator20]

Third Saturday of October is called the Third Saturday of October for a reason


Fuck the NCAA

Call it the Miss State rule no more BS scheduling.

Great idea.... lets move it to the last game of the year.... so we can have 2 teams potentially play back to back weeks. Genius idea.
