In addition to what you are saying, Disney/ESPN will probably take over a good part of game scheduling. Disney/ESPN did not pay hundreds of millions of dollars to have week 11 cup cakes polluting their time slots. They will exact revenge if the Fox conference has a better product in late November and kills them, in the ratings, because of bad game scheduling by the SEC?. I see both networks mandating that Power 2 conferences only play against Power 2 competition. Something like the first two weeks Disney/ESPN teams play Fox conference teams and then 10 Disney/ESPN games before their playoffs.
