I don't see how they can possibly decide based on only half of the relevant information being available.
Maybe they can approve 2 or 3 different schedule strategies pending the CFP Expansion and television contract negotiations outcome. Until we know where the CFP is going and the development of the other Power 5 Conferences, it seems a little premature to make any wholesale changes to SOP.
The idea is to remain competitive, not give other Conferences unnecessary advantages. IMO
I would move Auburn to the east. With Texas and Oklahoma added to the west. Then rotate one or two opposite conference opponents in yearly. Easier and less trouble.
So Saban has flip flopped? Previously he was all for the nine game schedule, but now that his team has become vulnerable he has second thoughts.
