Gotcha.
Ties into the playoff thread a little. One of the biggest pro's I see to some sort of NFL style playoff format is that teams wouldn't be able to 1) be built for only one kind of weather condition, 2) ensure they never have to leave it and most importantly, 3) ensure that they will get to play their most important games in that weather while ensuring at the same time their opponents will have to deal with the opposite of all three.
The overall record and unwilligness of the SEC to leave their friendly confines seems to give some merit to the theory.
