Re: [gatortalk] Re: [gatornews] [SUN]: Gators' rotation of non-divisional opponents announced

Here's what a friend thinks will happen.

I'm not seeing 4 divisions.  I see 2 8-team divisions with a 9 game conference schedule that does not include permanent opponents.  Each team would play the other 7 teams in its division and rotate through the 8 non-divisional teams every 4 years.  I think that is a more likely scenario.  You would only upset a couple of cross-divisional rivalries in the process.

 

The format of the new playoffs will force the major football schools into a realignment IMO, and I think you come out of this with a new (and improved) big-time college football association (not the NCAA).  I'm not sure the NCAA will have a lot to do with this except as a ruling body and enforcement group.  The major football schools will align into 4 16-team conferences, and each conference will have 2 8-team divisions. The SEC, ACC, Big 10 and PAC 12 would expand and take in what is important from the Big 12, (probably OU, OSU, Texas, Baylor, Texas Tech).  Plus ND would get sucked in to one of the conferences. 

 

You will have either an 8 or 16 team playoff depending on how it is setup.  For a 16-team playoff, each division in the conference would have a playoff to determine who advances to the conference championship.  In an 8-team playoff, you would just have the winner of each division go directly to the championship.  The winners of the conference championship would go to the semi-final game and so forth.

 

It's all about the money, and something like this would generate the most money.  You would essentially be adding 1 game to the schedule for the teams that advance if you have a 16-team divisional playoff game.  The schools that get left out of the big conferences would be very upset, but that's the way life would be.

I think that's exactly what will happen, eventually.  Right now, my understanding is the SEC is waiting for the Pac 10 and the Big 10 to make the first move.

No one cares what the ACC is doing.  : )

I hope they add 2 more teams and split into 4 divisions before much of 

this schedule is played out.

Gators' rotation of non-divisional opponents announced

UF's SEC slate set through 2025

The Florida Gators already knew that Alabama would be their opponent on the new rotating schedule with the Western Division starting in 2014. Now, the Gators know the rest of the lineup against the West through the year 2025.

The SEC announced a 12-year rotation of non-division opponents Monday.

The league's athletic directors reconfirmed the rotation at their May meeting after deciding to remain with an eight-game SEC schedule — with one permanent non-division opponent and one rotating.

UF's permanent opponent from the West is LSU.

The Gators first rotating opponent is Alabama, which then will not come to Florida Field until 2021.

The Gators — and the league's 13 other schools — will not play the non-divisional rotating opponents in back-to-back seasons. This will allow schools to play all conference opponents on a more frequent basis.

Also, the rotation for the first six years is not the same as the rotation in the second six in order to maintain four home conference games and four road games per school.

Here's a look at UF's rotating schedule against teams from the West: 2014 — at Alabama; 2015 — Ole Miss; 2016 — at Arkansas; 2017 — Texas A&M; 2018 — at Mississippi State; 2019 — Auburn; 2020 — at Ole Miss; 2021 — Alabama; 2022 — at Texas A&M; 2023 — Arkansas; 2024 — at Auburn; 2025 — Mississippi State.
