No one ever wants to admit it, but SEC football games….
are way more entertaining even though it feels like the fix is in with most of their games and you can almost predict the outcomes. Their fans are loud. ESPN mics up their bands to make them obnoxiously loud. There always seems to be some spectacular play. Even though the score of a game is 3-3 at the end of the 3rd, the final ends up 38-31 after the 2nd OT. And college football is a religion in the SEC. Disney and ESPN already love them and it’s a matter of time before there is a break.
The SEC won’t do this until the Big 18 is ready though. The SEC and Big 18 need a set up like the old AFL and NFL where the SEC can play only SEC teams and the Big 18 can only play Big 18 teams, with only one College Super Bowl game when the SEC plays the Big 18. I think the SEC and Big 18 need 4 divisions each in their conferences. To go to 4 5-team divisions, the Big 18 just needs 2 ACC schools and the SEC needs 4 schools from either the ACC or Big 12. They might have to go bigger than 20 teams (24 or even 28) though because the ACC will need to properly implode if it happens before the ACC GoR renewal date.
