It's probably the best scheme I can imagine, IMHO.  Saban was complaining about his 3 rivals being upper crust, but that could happen to any team.  Not everyone gets a Vandy.  UGA will probably get UF, Auburn, and USCe.

And if they do 3-6-6 then everyone would play everyone else at least twice every four years, which would be okay I suppose.
Is this official or speculative?

Also, have their been any leaks/rumors as to what the pairings will be?

Speculative, and there have been a lot of leaks about it.  Saban complained he was being paired with LSU/Auburn/Tennessee, but it's not official.  I think he was jawboning the "committee".

Somebody could get Vandy/Mizzou/UK in comparison.

One would think that whoever assigned these would be smart enough to realize that Vandy/Mizzou/UK would likely be an EASY schedule and not do that.  

I made this as speculation for the B1G:

When I did Ohio State, I started with Michigan and Penn State then stuck in Rutgers because it seemed like with two HEAVY hitters as #1 and #2, the Buckeyes should get a historical lightweight for #3.  

I would *THINK* that a committee doing this for the SEC would do the same thing.  What is your speculation?

I came up with this as a start, trying to pick up the most important/relevant/historic rivalries:

If I were doing this next I'd basically say:
  • UGA, UF, and Auburn each have two tough ones, they each need a historical lightweight.  
  • Mizzou/Ark/LSU might make sense as a sort-of region (I guess Saban would like that, LoL).  
Thoughts?  Did I miss a MAJOR SEC rivalry?  Does USCe have any serious rivalries in the league?

Bama-Tennessee is a rivalry, third saturday etc.

Bama supposedly will get Auburn/LSU/Tenn.

UGA would get UF/Auburn/USCe.

There's about 100 youtube videos speculating and putting the 3 rivals up on a list.
.
Saban is right, no one should be saddled with 3 toughies, there's no reason for it.  Once you have 2, you get a Vandy/MSU/Miz/Arky type of team.  
.
...but the Bama-Auburn-UGA-Tennessee quartet can suck it if they have an issue.  They held the rest of the conference hostage for 30 years with invented rivalries so that they could have theirs.

I don't have an issue, we're likely to get three of the worst teams in the conference as fixed oppos.

I want Minnie, Iowa and USC for UW. 

Or UCLA if need be, if it can't be USC.

To all of you who talk about how terrible California must be, what does it say about the school if tons of your alumni live here? :57:
