No one can say "pods suck' because they haven't even been tried yet.  Sheesh.

I'm still not certain the pods are capable of preserving all of the annual rivalries that SEC schools value.

And if you start putting in an extra x-pod rivalry game, then you're diminishing the scheduling flexibility that the pods are supposed to create.

Yea when it goes to a 16 team conference sacrifices have to be made.

Make the pods with the most important rivals so they play every year.  I would hope Texas, Oklahoma, and Texas A&M + 1 are in a pod.

Go to an 11 game conference schedule and you only miss a potential non-pod rival for 1 year.

Of course the SEC won't do that, gotta pad those records for the playoff 😎

I imagine that the SEC and the B1G will go to 11-game conference schedules at the same time.

This is also true with only a 9-game conference schedule.

This won't matter, because unlike now where a former annual rivals may only play twice in 12 years, in a pod system, they'd play every other year regardless. 
That's the point.
But it could end up killing some games that have remained annual.  Going from annual, to 2/4 years, is exactly what happened to the NU-OU rivalry, and that ended up having a lot to do with Nebraska's dissatisfaction with the B12 and ultimate defection.

And who drove that decision?  Amusingly can you imagine that it was OU that preferred it this way since NU was an absolute power house at the time ?  But within 5 years the tables were turned?  Didn’t the fans think as well that it would be OU and NU in the ccg every year as well?  I can’t recall that happening. Maybe it did but I don’t remember it.

They have a few years to sort it out.

I imagine "they" will consider a variety of options, and by then perhaps even more teams will have joined.  I saw something somewhere about Ohio State joining the SEC, I didn't read the blurb because I thought it was click bait.

I suppose one could form a massive "conference" including most of the P5 teams of note and carry on from there.
