If we go back to 4 OOC games it just means scheduling another patsy Sun Belt team, or even scheduling FCS teams again. I'm not exactly in favor of that. Yet, the SEC plays 8 conference games and schedules an FCS team before rivalry week so maybe it is the best move.
Another way SEC mitigate risk is by having so many OOC within a relatively close proximity. Alabama may play someone like Wisconsin or USC, but they're doing it in Arlington, Texas. They don't play true road games, no home/home splits.
I think you're reading WAY more into Moos' statement than is there. You're talking about a significant conference realignment. All he said was some scheduling news for 2022 and beyond.Hope so...
Would be the perfect time to add Oklahoma and Kansas and create the 4 - 4 team pods.
Play your pod and the pod designated as your half of the conference every year and rotate through the other pods +1 each year.
This is how I read it. Personally I'd like to see balanced schedules instead of playing the best teams from the East 3 or 4 times more often than the worst teams from the East.Reading more of Moos’ quotes, I think it’s possible that they are talking about not stack the top team’s schedule against each other so much instead of going back to eight games.
Instead of Nebraska playing Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State and Michigan State so much, we’d have Rutgers, Maryland and Indiana mixed in more often.
I’m not sure. But I think either is possible based on what Moos said.

I don't think he was saying Moos was suggesting this, just that it would be a good ideaI think you're reading WAY more into Moos' statement than is there. You're talking about a significant conference realignment. All he said was some scheduling news for 2022 and beyond.
