With this setup, call Division A the Bear Bryant Division and call Division B the Vince Dooley Division.


NO. i hate naming divisions. the big 10's names are gay as hell. call 'em east/west or north/south or something nondescript but naming them after people sucks.

Division A:
Alabama (Auburn)
UT (UGA)
LSU (Florida)
TAMU (MU)
Arkansas (USC)
Ole Miss (MSU)
Vandy (Kentucky)

Division B:
Auburn (BAMA)
Georgia (UT)
Florida (LSU)
USCe (Arky)
Mizzou (A&M)
MSU (Ole Miss)
Kentucky (Vandy)


I made three changes:

1) moved Arky back to the mostly West division, kept their rivalry with USC
2) moved Mizzou to the mostly East division and made their opponent A&M
3) switched KY and Vandy since Vandy is further west and I like KY basketball in the East

the fixed opponents may have to just fall by the wayside if the SEC expands tho - 7 teams from the opposite division is a lot of teams to rotate through with only a couple opposite division games per year

That would be fine, I just think we need to get away from east and west because it limits you.. Make everyone travel a little more...

I would switch it to A&M vs Arky then have Mizzou vs USCe.

It would be just as far for Mizzou either way (13 hours away vs 14 hours away).

MU has no recruiting connections anywhere in the SEC other than Texas and Missouri - they need A&M because their roster is stocked with 3 stars from Texas. Keeping Arky in the West and making MU the A&M permanent opponent gives you the Arky/A&M rivalry (much bigger than Arky/MU), the Arky/USC rivalry, and keeps MU playing at least one school in Texas

Didn't notice that he flipped Arky.

The second version seems to be pretty good. I can't seem to poke in holes in it that would keep it from working.

This makes me a little more comfortable with adding missou if it has to happen.
