Georgia-Auburn and Third Saturday in October is
preserved for now. SEC sticks with eight games, but require teams to play a non-conference opponent from the ACC, Big 12, Big Ten or Pac-12. Continuing the 6-1-1 preserves all of the cross division rivals while encouraging all the schools to play a bit tougher schedule. Unless you are Missouri, then you just schedule
Kansas, Indiana and Illinois on a regular basis.
My favorite part of this is Texas still won't play Texas A&M, but A&M has every reason to schedule Oklahoma, OSU, and Baylor now.
The upside with sticking at eight conference games is we aren't completely foreclosed from playing other power conference teams not called Georgia Tech. The downside is that I'll be retired the next time we get to go to The Grove.
