The 3-6-6 model is the 4 team pod model.

I didn't think that was the case. In a POD system the teams would, essentially, have the same permanent games. For example, a hypothetical POD of Texas, Arkansas, OU and A&M would mean that those teams all would simply play each other, annually, for their permanent games.

However, in a 3-6-6 model they could all have different permanent rotations. Again, hypothetically, you could have (from the same teams in the above POD):

tu plays OU, TAMU, Arky (same as above POD)
TAMU plays tu, LSU, Arky
OU plays Mizzou, tu, Bama
Arky plays LSU, TAMU, tu

I'd love to see TAMU grouped with tu, LSU and (to a lesser extent) Arky.

I found more (from Goodbullhunting.com, referencing Bill Connely/Jason Kirk's article/podcast where they originally proposed the 3-6-6):

In what we call the “3-6-6” format, there would be no divisions, no pods, no subgroups of any kind within the conference. What you’d have instead is each team having three permanent “rivalry” games each year, and six rotating opponents (six in even years and the other six in odd years). That means you’d play nine conference games (up from the SEC’s current eight), but you’d also

- Maintain your team’s most important rivalry games
- Face EVERY conference team in a 24-month span
- Have EVERY conference team come to your home stadium in the span of four years

Sounds a lot better than the current setup in which Georgia has yet to come to College Station, and A&M has yet to visit Lexington (and if it weren’t for the one-off COVID schedule, they wouldn’t have gone to Knoxville yet either). It also removes some of the obstacles that the pod format faces to please everybody. For example, Alabama wants to play Auburn and Tennessee, Auburn wants to play Alabama and Georgia, and Georgia wants to play Auburn and Florida, but you can’t fit all five of those teams in a pod. Eight-team divisions would be even more of a nightmare, where a seven-team division schedule and one permanent cross-division opponent would mean you’d have only one game per year to face the other seven teams in the conference. That means you’d have teams in your own conference who would only visit your home stadium once every 14 YEARS! No thank you.

“They knew they would be very, very happy to be on the SEC, which is why they took this step. They will take anything (they can have it)… and they have no vote in the process. It is only the current membership.” Bjork

That's what they said about Texas joining the conference as well (no voice). If anyone thinks that Texas and OU won't have a voice in how it plays out... they need to pull their head out of their arse.

Seltzer says OU is not ready. He didn’t hold back his thoughts on the move.

Since this the off-season, I thought I'd highlight how lazy scouting, media hype and poor decisions impact the recruitment process.....
