Not sure how you do that fairly. At least with East and West divisions each team is required to play everyone in their division which settles things.
With the 3-6 setup for example you could have a team like Kentucky have TN, South Carolina, and Vanderbilt as permanent rivals. Then their rotation it’s possible in a season they don’t have Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Oklahoma, Texas, LSU, Etc.. on their schedule. Even if they play just one of those teams it’s possible for another team to have to play all those teams. So it’s apples and oranges. You go by just SEC record you probably aren’t getting the two most deserving and best teams in the SEC championship game. In today’s format you are. You win your division you’re usually deserving to be there. Is there another way to do this I’m not seeing? Maybe people don’t care about equal schedules?
