The main board has a thread on this already, but I thought it was worth reposting.

At 16 teams, 3 permanent rivals means rotating 6 home and home and play everyone twice every four years.

It also means no geographic oddities to keep Texas and A&M apart.

For my TN, it will be interesting to me who we wind up with. Do we lose Alabama and keep more eastern schools, do we keep Alabama? Alabama, KY, and Vandy? Then we lose Georgia and Florida.

Could also do 5-5 I guess.

All of this and more. You could have six annual rivals and rotate 3 a year and rotate through everyone in 3 years with the home and home cycle completed every 6.

The options are plentiful and it takes a cap off of expansion and opens up conference semis for the best 4.

A six-three would do wonders honestly. Three or four permanent rivals seems like there are too many rivalries getting lost or pushed away. With the way the transfer portal works these days, having five or six permanent rivals and scheduled to play all the other schools is still over the currEnt structure.

Semifinals and an open table will make the entire season more meaningful and entertaining down the stretch. It’ll remind me of European soccer league formats minus the relegation.
