SEC to play 10 game conf-only schedule

No. The ACC announced a 10 +1 format. One OOC game. The issue is several of those were to be against intra state SEC foes, ala Florida/Florida St, Georgia/Georgia Tech.

The ACC announced before the SEC. The +1 has to be a game “in-state.”

IOW, the rule was to keep from blowing up the 2 in-state ACC-SEC rivalries you identified, plus Kentucky/Louisville and SC/Clemson.

With the SEC announcement, expect the ACC +1 to be dropped to match the SEC, PAC, and B1G.

As a more general response to this thread:

Likewise, expect the Big 12 to either bring in BYU for one year, go to a conference semifinal + championship format, or allow a single buy game.

The die is cast. This is going to be a conference only season, and the AAC, MWC, MAC, CUSA, WAC and Sun Belt are likely to follow next week. Even if the Big 12 allows a +1 OOC game, expect TCU to bring in a body bag FCS—and certainly not go on the road.

Don't bring in BYU at all.

The ACC "in-state" game can be against an out-of-state opponent, it just has to be played in-state.

B12 still is focusing on +1 and though a lot of talk about BYU for one season that really is being dismissed by the schools so far.

You think all 10 Big 12 schools are going to hop on planes to ACC states to help them fill their ACC Network inventory, and pad their revenue streams? No. This is a financial survival decision. The ACC’s geographic limitation makes is +1 unworkable with them for the Big 12.

+1 is the obvious preference to give all 10 members a home game and some gate revenue while maximizing inventory for the Big 12 media contract . The question is if there will be 10 teams available and willing to play?

Where did I say that?

More importantly what happens if we run the table this year. With no ooc for sec and big10-1+6-5 it’s a perfect year to really scheiss the small guy again.

strength of schedule is completely opinion. Can’t even misuse the transitive property
