stupid response from a stupid person, has nothing to do with the conversation at all.

But the PAC 12 is a stupid conference and a bunch of cry babies to boot.

They choose to play a 9 game conference schedule and now they are whiny little babies because we don't play a 9 game schedule.

solution = change your own conference back to 8 games if its such a issue to you and shut up crying about your own decisions.

please explain to me who it was that forced you (PAC 12) to play a 9 game conference schedule ?

and why you now think you have the right to tell us what to do ?

I didn't say anyone "forced" the PAC-12 to go to 9 conference games. So ease up a bit.

I do think it makes more sense to play 9 conference games when you have a 12 team conference. That's primarily so players and fans get to see all conference teams more often.

What is your objection to playing more conference opponents?

Where did I say I had a "right" to tell the SEC what to do? I'll save you looking for it.... I didn't.

My only objection would be if going to 9 games caused us to have to stop playing Alabama the 3rd Saturday in October every year. This game is an important rivalry game that I absolutely don't want to lose and keeping it hardly makes our schedule easier. Some times Tradition is more important than anything else.

My whole point is what right does the PAC 12 have to complain about us not playing 9 games when no one forced them to play 9 and they can change back to 8 games any time they choose.

More than that they are presenting it as if the SEC is somehow cheating to gain an unfair advantage when it was their choice to play 9 games.

This is what bothers me about it all. It is a misrepresentation of the FACTS so that it looks bad on the SEC and nothing else.

They've always played 9. Same with Big 10.

It used to mean that all teams play every Conf opponent. Then they expanded to 12 teams and rendered 9 Conf games useless.

and that's fine if that's what they want to do, but no one is forcing them to do this.

I think one issue is a SEC team can go 2-6 in conference and be bowl eligible with 4 OOC games against cup cakes. Maybe the NCAA should only allow 3 OOC games to count toward bowl eligibility. Then any conference can play 6, 7, 8 or 9 conference games that's their choice.

I'm not sure how increasing to 9 games eliminates rivalry games.

Tennessee played Oregon last year. Oklahoma this year.

Back to your cupcake theory. What was it again?

well GoDucks has a point that some SEC teams do take advantage of playing a lot of cupcakes year after year after year, however Tennessee isn't one of those teams.

and with the new playoff I think this will be self correcting with SoS becoming very important to the selection.

I agree tenn has a reputation for being willing to play tough Ooc games. Lsu also steps up. But many sec teams historically haven't played tough Ooc games on a consistent basis.

I've said this many times on volnation.

That's really just a theme of the bottom dwellers and Bama.

USCe plays Clemson
UF plays Fsu
UGA plays GT (they have their ups and downs. Besides they also play Clemson this year and played them last as well.)
