With the recent news that the NCAA is planning to scrap its guidelines for conference championship games — in other words, not requiring a conference to play a divisional format to hold a championship game (which they already relaxed for conferences that have fewer than 12 teams, i.e. the Big (sic) 12 (sic), but apparently are getting rid of for all conferences), the rumor mill has started that the SEC will soon be rid of its divisional format that’s existed since 1992 and will simply play a single-division schedule.
How that will be formatted is up for debate.
