Should the SEC football schedule follow the Big Ten’s lead?

With the Big Ten announcing a unique approach to building future football schedules, should the SEC football schedule follow suit?

The SEC went into their annual spring meetings with one main objective: determine what scheduling model the league will adopt once Texas and Oklahoma join in 2024.

Member schools were set to vote on one of two long-term options: an eight-game conference schedule featuring one permanent rival and seven rotating opponents or a nine-game conference schedule featuring three permanent rivals and six rotating opponents.

In both options, division are eliminated.

But rather than make a final decision on a long-term scheduling model, the SEC decided on a temporary measure for the 2024 season.
