2022 football schedule

The SEC model would be
Tennessee
Auburn
Alabama
Vanderbilt

Missouri
Oklahoma
Texas
Texas A&M

Floeida
Georgia
South Carolina
Kentucky

Ole Miss
Mississippi State
LSU
Arkansas


No rivalry must play games are lost except Auburn-Georgia.
LSU won’t mind not losing Alabama automatically.

You play 3 games in pod, 4 against another and then 1 game against the 2 other pods based on how you finished the previous years.
1 vs. 1
2 vs. 2
3 vs. 3
4 vs. 4 etc or it could be rotated by computer model.

It would get great TV matchups each year.

Those pods are far from being even competitively.

Auburn-UGA (126 games) won't be sacrificed in any way. Kentucky-Tennessee (117 not happening). Bama-Miss State (106). Ole Miss-Vandy (96 a big one for both schools). Kentucky-Vandy (94). Bama-LSU (86 too big a game). UGA-Vandy (81). And you miss out on Arkansas-Texas (79 huge game) renewal. Plus you don't account for Arkansas-A&M (78) or Auburn-Florida (84). Everyone of those rivalries has more games played than SU's #1 opponent all time. There are more than enough marquee games to go around without also sacrificing these games. With crossovers you can potentially keep all of these.

The pods IMO would be better as:

Texas
A&M
Oklahoma
Arkansas

Tennessee
Mizzou
Vandy
Kentucky

Bama
LSU
Ole Miss
Miss State

Auburn
Florida
UGA
South Carolina

There is one weak AF pod but allows for all the main rivalries with the cross over.

That is good.
Having a weak pod doesn’t hurt at all.
They might be better off doing 3 games within pod, another pod, 1 protected game no matter like your list and if it’s from your pod you are playing that season then a team for another from that pod and then like the NFL where you finish you play 1 team that finished in same spot the previous year.
 
I think the SEC schools will have to come to grips with the fact that in order to have a 16 team super league, you might have to lose some of your long term rivalry games.

I'm sure they will all get over it. Just go take a swim in one of IPF swimming pools filled with hundred dollar bills.
