"We’ve looked at well over 40 different formats, if you will, and from those formats there were different models," SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey said during an appearance last Friday on "The Paul Finebaum Show."At this point, the most likely model pits each team against six rotating opponents and three permanent rivals. The benefits would be a wider variety of games and the possibility of increased competitiveness in what has become a top-heavy SEC.
For example, Alabama has played only two games at Vanderbilt since 2002; the Commodores have visited Tuscaloosa only twice since 2006. Georgia hasn't played at Texas A&M since the Aggies joined the league in 2012. Mississippi State and Florida have met just once 2010 and have faced off in Gainesville only four times since 1990.
Increased parity and competitiveness could come by facing more teams, and more importantly by facing a different run of teams every season. Georgia could take on a much tougher schedule instead of facing the same six teams from the SEC East. LSU could draw a conference slate that avoids Georgia, Florida and Tennessee.
PaulMyerberg OU fan here. An annual MSU game would be odd. I don't think OU fans would be excited about it.
