Super Conference outside the box score

Post by MikenNashville »

What a future SEC Super Conference would look like is not knowable yet but here is one way to do it with all teams getting an equal share of $ due to additional “championship” game, more TV inventory and added markets.

Group A
Championship game first and second place play in Atlanta winner gets auto bid to playoff, second place at-large bid to playoff or Sugar/Cotton bowl bid.*
Schedule includes all teams in group plus one permanent crossover in group b and one rotating crossover group b for a total of ten
Alabama
Auburn
Florida
Georgia
LSU
Oklahoma
Tennessee
Texas
Texas A&M


Group B
Championship game first and second place play in Nashville winner auto bid to Sugar/Cotton bowl or at-large bid to playoff.*
Schedule includes all teams in group plus one permanent crossover group a and one rotating crossover group a for a total of ten
Arkansas
Kentucky
Miss State
Missouri
Ole Miss
South Carolina
TCU - Expansion
Vanderbilt
Virginia - Expansion


Permanent Crossover Games
Alabama vs Miss State
Arkansas vs Texas
Auburn vs Virginia
Florida vs Kentucky
Georgia vs South Carolina
LSU vs Ole Miss
Missouri vs Oklahoma
Tennessee vs Vanderbilt
Texas A&M vs TCU

A Sample schedule let’s say Georgia-
Georgia vs Alabama, Auburn, Florida, LSU, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Texas A&M, South Carolina, Ole Miss, Georgia Tech, and a first game against Little Sisters of the Lower Southwest Tech Community College

*Highest ranking team would get the playoff at-large bid.

Will never happen but it would be interesting IMO and I've got too much time on my hands this week.

Especially TCU and Virginia joining the SEC. Not in most of our lifetimes.

Already “concerned” for the health and safety of the student athletes because of the 12-team NCP, I can’t see an extra conference championship game being allowed.

It’s okay, though, to have a 7-overtime game.
