With 20 teams 10 games or 1-9 will cover all opponents every two years. This is most stable in my opinion for the whole conference.

With 11 games 3-8 covers all opponents every two years.

Heh.

You need to play the same teams 2 years in a row if you want to do a home and home. That means playing everyone twice every 4 years. 2 years on, 2 years off. Still better than currently only playing someone like Georgia once in 10 years. That's really unacceptable when you're in the same conference. Or I guess you could play someone in year 1 at home and then year 3 on the road and someone else in year 2 at home and year 4 on the road. 1 year on, 1 year off.

For starters currently in the SEC:
playing each team home and home is NOT something the league considers to be important so i doubt it will be a priority.

Presuming we are looking at 2 power conferences with 20 or more teams format when the dust clears. I think we get playoff structure where 6+ teams from each conference make the playoff and have an NFL style postseason. If that is how it works out maybe the number of conference games increases but maybe it doesn't

With 20+ teams there will be 3-4 divisions and division winners make the playoffs 8 conference games will be enough to sort out the playoff field and the broadcast partners will have lots of games to chose from it could be
5 divisional +3 non divisional + 4 OOC
All of this is probably 5 years out but current college scheduling thinking might not apply to the new conference realignment

Yeah. If the league eventually got to 20 teams, the entire setup would probably change And the playoffs would likely have changed as well

I don't think the sec goes to 20 until they know tgst the playoffs are for sure expanding

The home and home is a priority. The two proposed 16-team schedules 1-7 and 3-6 accomplish exactly that.

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Nice meme. Zero content. Learn to read because the ESPN article provides the context.

I guess I should add: I post exactly what I feel like posting when I feel like posting it. If it confuses you perhaps you just need to accept you're not smart enough to follow what I'm saying. I don't owe you anything. But in about 50% of my posts I'm tracking the business aspects and strategy of how intercollegiate athletics work because it interests me (and actually is tangential to one of my projects at work.) If it doesn't make sense, it likely is because you haven't tracked it. If you have a question, ask it. Being derisive is an effort to shut me up.

Actually, if it doesn't make sense it's likely because you compose sentences as if you ran your thoughts through three language translation apps before finally converting them to English. Good luck with your tangential work project though!

The SEC is already moving to 9 conference games, there's no reason why they would go back to 8. Also 5 divisional games makes no sense unless it's a 24 team league, and then you're only playing teams from the other divisions once every 6 years, with a home game with each team occurring every 12 years.

Not to mention, there aren't even 8 teams out there that bring in enough money for the SEC or B1G to expand from 16 to 24 teams. It's most likely going to be a 20 team conference, at most, with a 9 or 10 game conference schedule.

If it is an 18 team league you could have 3 divisions of 6 if 6+ teams make the conference playoff then 3 divisions is workable
I doubt the ooc cupcake is going away
Lastly bringing in teams is more about keeping them from joining the B1G than bringing extra dollars

Are we talking about amps? These go to eleven.
