Not sure that I'm buying this given that it flies directly in the face of what the ACC just announced and would unnecessarily stifle the SEC's remaining big-time OOC games for both home-and-homes as well as in-state rivalries.

If the OU game is still going to be played I think you absolutely have to do this.

The Sooner that Oklahoma will get their ass kicked.

No blue font? That’s funny right there.

I don't understand the logic behind moving the season up a week considering the covid thing. (I mean, unless your opponent does). The later open might mean an extra week of moving towards a solution and preparation to handle it.

They are saying it allows more flexibility with the schedule if you do have a Covid issue and need to change weeks

And saying there's an issue with going to 10 games because of the current 6-1-1 format is nonsense. You add the next two rotating teams one which will be home and one away, problem solved.
