The B12 (XII) Forum, home of the 'Front Porch, y'all' at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

I literally never even thought about the whole 9 conference game scenario vs 8 games.  It only comes up in this forum, and it really doesn't matter.  I have no idea why we talk about it so much, and once Texas is in the SEC  you won't care either.  

About the only thing I don't care about is not playing all the conference foes in a somewhat decent time frame.  For example, A&M has only played UGa once in conference in our 12 years in the SEC.  I'd like to play all the conference teams at least twice per decade or something.  But when you get to 14, 16, or more teams that becomes more and more difficult.

You're wrong, because I'm in favor of the SEC moving to a 9-game conference schedule.  That would enable the 3-6-6 schedule which I believe is far superior to any other scheduling alternatives floated out there. 

Is the ACC still around?

And Miami, UNC and UVA.

Followed by ND, Stanford and Texas A&M.

UNC and UVA & Stanford

Figured this fits on a realignment thread.  This family portrait taken before Houston joined the SWC in '72.
