Do you prefer Pods or Divisions? If you like pods, choose one of options 1-3. If you prefer a more traditional Divisional SEC setup, vote for option 4.

1) Texas--Oklahoma--Arkansas--Missouri
2) Texas--Oklahoma--Arkansas--Texas A&M
3) Texas--LSU--Arkansas--Texas A&M
4) Texas--Oklahoma--Arkansas--LSU--Texas A&M--Ole Miss--Mississippi State--Missouri

Division (half of SEC) or Pod (1/4 of SEC)? I have heard both.

Edit:
Depending on the ruling from MR00:
I will vote for Texas, Mobilehoma, Pig People and Baghdad for a Pod
and Option 4 for a Division - Texas plus the others plus Mizzou, LSU and the Mississippi schools.

For the record, I do like keeping Tech on the OOC schedule.

Once the ruling from the court comes down, I will officially vote. It is my duty as a citizen. :smile1:

I'd rather do pods, but for some reason all I've heard is that they want to stick with two 8-team divisions.

LOL. I labeled all the choices divisions because the word "pod" is unseemly to me, for some reason. But, it's important to use the parlance of our times. So I will edit the original post to ask the voter: Do you prefer 4 pods, or 2 divisions?
 
Don't matter to me.
I would like to continue the red river shootout and would like to play turkey day game against A&M every season. If that doesn't happen its ok.
I don't care whose butt we kick every season.
 
Kick out South Carolina. Three five-team divisions:

West
Arkansas
Missouri
OU
Texas
Texas A&M

Central (or "Deep South?")
Alabama
Auburn
LSU
Mississippi
Mississippi State

East
Florida
Georgia
Kentucky
Tennessee
Vanderbilt

Play all four teams in your division, plus 2-3 from the other two divisions (nine conference games total). You'd play a home and an away with everyone every four years.

The two division winners with the best W-L records play each other in the CCG. If one team is undefeated in conference play and no one else is, they get to play the CCG at home.
Tiebreakers can include head-to-head, strength of conference schedule (whose conference opponents have a combined better W-L record), AP ranking, point differential, and so on. Any team on probation should automatically lose any tiebreaker.

It'll never happen, but I like it.

While South Carolina won't be going anywhere, the SEC will eventually expand again (My guess: into North Carolina and Virginia). So, we'll probably see your Divisional set up someday.

Shouldn’t the “Deep South” be called the “red neck”
 
It wouldn’t surprise me if they put Texas and Alabama in the same division, or make that the crossover opponent each season. They’re going to make it as difficult as ever for the Horns.
 
Put us with Vandy, Mo, SCar, and anyone else down in the cellar I missed. I’d like to win some games. Sorry, I’m a bit pessimistic this year.

I'd actually enjoy a series with Tennessee. There's a lot of history between the two States. Both of us wear orange. Both claim to be UT. Both schools have been down for a while. The rivalry would be good natured and a lot of fun.

With pods, a 9 game conference schedule makes sense.

I suppose you are thinking you play the 3 teams in your pod, plus 2 of the 4 in each other pod. That's not how I would do it.

In my world, there would be 2 divisions of 8 each year, but the makeup of the divisions would vary. Year one, it would be Pods A and B in one division and Pod C and D in the other. Rotate from there. You play each team in your division, and the winners meet in a CCG. The CCG would never be a rematch.

With this setup, you would play each team in your own pod every year and the teams in the other pods once every three years. Home and way would rotate as well, so you would host and visit every team in the conference once each six-year cycle.
 
I voted for #1, but would prefer the PAC-12 (16 teams/2 8 team divisions) South - USC, UCLA, UA, ASU, Colorado, Tceh, Texas, ou.

Texas has no business diluting its reputation by being associated with what amounts to an outlaw conference..

Bama doesn’t want to be in our pod or our division. They don’t like the money and influence we bring and want to be clear of us. More than the conference making it difficult for the Horns they will accommodate anything Bama wants so I don’t think you will see a regular match up.

Plus they probably want to get rid of aggy for a variety of reasons every year.
