The most telling part of this story: "Alabama and Auburn have played a combined 151 games against Sun Belt and Conference USA opponents from outside the state, so why not schedule the four schools from those conferences that already reside in Alabama? Only one such matchup has been played: UAB vs. Auburn in 1996."
Come get some Auburn and Alabama — with your dying dynasty and all.

If HCJS says yes, then my argument is moot.

Kudos to Hugh Freeze for speaking up outside the box. It's done at every other level, why not college. I liked HCJS thoughts, play it home and away, get two scrimmages out of it. Nothing to lose by either party, as Freeze said it reduces your injury possiblities by 50% because you play with your 11 at a time rather than 22 on the field at once.

The only issue I see with it is the current NCAA spring rules. 15 practices and only four in full pads. How do you evaluate, implement and prepare for a opponent in that frame? Yes fall camp is similar but you had the Spring to implement and evaluate

LOL.
This is Hugh Freeze getting his name and the program into the news cycle. It worked. There is 0% chance that schools are going to risk injury and their potential chance for competing for a title over a glorified practice, even if they adjust the rules.

Only one of us has a shot at a title and it aint those leftists in Lee County.

Yes fall camp is similar but you had the Spring to implement and evaluate I think you'd have to do it like the NFL does. It's a practice and nothing more, nobody wins, nobody loses. Fans come watch, charity makes money. Everybody enjoys the day Injuries are not in the conversation because that's the risk you take regardless of the person across the line of scrimmage

I'm all for it. Even though it would just be practice imagine all the valuable data and feedback you could get from scrimmaging with an SEC squad ahead of the season.

There is 0% chance that schools are going to risk injury and their potential chance for competing for a title over a glorified practice, even if they adjust the rules. This is something I will never understand even though it gets said everywhere. In no way whatsoever is there some weird greater risk of injury if you are playing another team in a spring game, rather than yourself. Regardless it's still live football and, regardless, the kicking game won't be live and QBs will be protected like every spring game. Regardless, I imagine we're probably headed to more of an OTA format in the coming years rather than an exhibition game. High schools already use OTAs, as do the NFL. It's virtually a scrimmage where you have goods go against goods from an opposing team in the same sorts of drills you would do in a regular practice with different situational 11 on 11 portions and probably a few scrimmage portions. Regardless, I didn't mean to say regardless that many times.
