This is a positive and will hopefully pave the way for an SEC format of 3-5 or 3-6 with 3 permanent rivals and not pods.

9 conference games would be better IMHO and with 16 teams you cycle through the other 12 every 4 years both home and away, so I think the SEC will go with a 3-6 model.

Didn't see this posted from 6/28 but SIAP and discussed.

ACC may not survive long enough for it to matter if SEC decides to expand to keep up with the B1G.

Strange they ****ed up the Tobacco Road rivalries for all except duke

Duke, UNC and NC State all play each other. NC State did get screwed by getting Clemson while Duke gets Wake and UNC gets UVA.

ACC grant of rights lasts until 2036.

ACC 3-5 Format = the ACC using its remaining 3-5 schools after conference realignment to format a new schedule

All 4 teams are rivals…

Wake gets duke, Ga Tech, & Va Tech
Nc State gets clemson
& unc plays Virginia


I don't really care either way, just seems like a really simple thing that they **** the bed on

That's only in play as long as the conference continues to exist.

SEC doesn't need to expand because Big 10 may pick up one decent team who hasn't sniffed playoff since it's inception.

If the SEC had tried to add Florida St and Clemson while adding Texas and OU, the package of 4 would have been shot down. Florida And S Carolina would have been p***** enough to vote no giving A&M, Missouri and Arkansas the courage to also vote NO. The SEC was smart to gradually screw one or two schools at a time. We were lucky to be the first ones to get hosed. Florida and S Carolina had to see this coming right?

If the SEC goes with a 3-6 format and our 3 are cow, Pig, and LSU....... I can live with that. I just don't want to be stuck with BOTH cow and OU, would like our schedule to be as less Big 12 and more traditional SEC as possible.

So of course our 3 will end up being cow, OU, and Mizzou.....

This is what's gonna happen

ACC is irrelevant

I'm curious if their bylaws have a clause like the Big 12, where if enough members leave at once, the conference dissolves. I think the B1G is still looking to add ND and Oregon/UW before their new contract in 2023, and wouldn't be surprised if the SEC is already in talks with FSU, Miami, Clemson, and UNC as a counter.
