Do you guys like the format now? I liked it better split into divisions. We don't play bama, auburn, or lsu this year. That's crazy. Being put into divisions we could play everyone in the division and have a couple cross over opponents like football. Why did they change it? Does it make the league seem better or something?

It was originally done when the East teams were really good (KY, FLA, TN) and the West teams were bad (except for us). KY didn't like it that they had to play a harder schedule since they were in the East.

The university presidents voted to eliminate divisions. The vote passed 11-1. The one was us.

We literally play bama twice and auburn and LSU once each this year...

in fact, of the other 6 west teams we play A&M, ole miss, bama and Arkansas twice. We also play usce twice. I'd rather play auburn twice than A&M, but otherwise we can't complain one bit about the schedule this year.

The tipping point was when Bama got left out of the tournament with 21 wins in 2011 because their schedule was so weak. The league voted to do away with divisions that summer.

Just remembered...Kentucky and Florida didn't like it that the top 2 teams from the SEC West got first round byes in the SEC Tourney also.

From memory, we got that bye about five years in a row.

Do you have the Hail State app? It's a good source for schedules of all our sports, along with scores of games already played. And there's a lot of other information on all sports too.
