I don’t think age has anything to do with it….I am 38 and feel the same as you….people just can’t freaking leave things alone….but as AC/DC said, money talks and BS walks

So does this mean no more SEC title game? Or better yet….could it be a FL-UGA SEC title game?

No there will still be a title game, it’ll Just be the two best teams in the conference instead of having one of them sit home half the time because both of the two are in the same division.

Yeah and it's also been annoying how the last few years UGA or Bama (whoever went into the SECCG #1) could get steamrolled and still be guaranteed a spot in the playoffs....with playoff expansion, conf title games will become even less meaningful

You do realize with the amount of teams and competition it would be very easy to see seasons where you could have 3 or 4 teams with 11-1 records, right?

Are you implying that uga 2011, those Mizzou teams, and our ‘15 and ‘16 squads weren’t second best in the SEC?

Without division schedule that's gonna be kinda hard if you end up with 3 or 4 teams in the same conference with similar records.....it will get very complicated.

You do realize that way back when the earths crust was still cooling, we didn’t have divisions but still used tiebreakers to figure out who won the conference when teams had identical records.
You do realize that even today two teams in the same division can have identical records but we use tiebreakers to determine who goes to the big game.

We also used to have a 10 team conference with maybe 2 of those schools ever having a realistic chance of winning a conference title in any given year too....
What I'm saying is a 16 team conference with only 12 games and 3 of those being out of conference without division titles opens up a 100X larger chance of multiple teams stacked at the top with 1 loss especially with the caliber of programs in this conference....

The schedule imbalance will be even worse in 2024 with only 8 games. Tiebreakers will be secondary to the strength of schedule discrepancies.

I doubt it happens that often. At the end of the season there aren't very many teams in the entire country with only one loss, much less in the SEC. In any event, they're doing it so we'll see. I'd imagine with the money and prestige on the line for national titles that the tiebreaker system will lean toward the teams with the best national ranking.

Some of the old rules were incredibly stupid. One that comes to mind was that if 2 teams tied for 1st in the SEC, they shared the title, even if one team beat the other head-to-head during the season.
In today’s playoff system, they will probably spend time making sure there are no pot holes in the rules. However, holding up the old system as a beacon of hope isn’t the strongest argument.
