    As soon as I'm allowed more reactions, you've got a hook 'em coming your way.

    There are certainly examples of teams rarely playing each other like above but there's also been plenty of interplay between the Big 6, but they were often locked into annual series rather than rotating. Three of the Big 6 have traditional rivalries with a 3/5 of the other "Big 6": Florida - Georgia, Auburn, LSU Alabama - Alabama, Tennessee, LSU Auburn - Alabama, Georgia, Florida LSU - Florida, Alabama, (Ole Miss) Georgia - Auburn, Florida, (Vanderbilt) Tennessee - Alabama, (Kentucky, Vanderbilt) Divisional play evened it out since it created Florida/Tennessee, Georgia/Tennessee, and LSU/Auburn but at the loss of Florida/Auburn once the league went to 6-1-2 format in 2003, guaranteeing everyone played at least 3/5 of the other Big 6 members. How does that compare historically to other conferences?

    I think it might be a case of you bad lucking into the outlier that is Alabama Football. Bama used to, on average, play more SEC games than everyone else. Prior to the 80s, there were no set number of conference games. They would often schedule 1 or 2 more conference games than everyone else. At one point they played 8 conference games at the same year Tulane only played 5. In the early 80s, the league locked down to everyone playing the same number... so a couple of their games vs Ole Miss were actually out of conference matchups. Thanks for the welcome.

    Long time lurker, first time poster. Had to create an account to point out that this is 100% incorrect. The 10 Team SEC played a 6 game conference schedule up until 1988 and played a 7 game schedule from 1989-1991. I'm fairly certain everyone had 5 permanent rivals and the other 4 teams would rotate with the final 1 or 2 games, and there was usually 5-7 years between home-home series.
