Playing head to head in the order you provided, the west would win 1 maybe 2 games.

This is what I believe should happen. All I've heard about is how Alabama doesn't want to lose their rivalry with Tennessee and the same with Auburn and Georgia. This way you keep all of these and also keep the iron bowl.

In on Mizzou and A&M to west, Bama and Auburn to East, and Vandy or Kentucky to the west crew.

So aTm fans are going to tell us what they think should happen to the conference?

Regardless, changing the divisional structure is a terrible idea.

Yeah, I am going to say what in my mind is the best way to solve it and keep everyone happy.

Never said my way was the right way, the only way, or the best way for everyone else.

that division would suck.. East = classic power division - LSU

And my point is that you don't really know what you're talking about. But you can understand based on what OU and Nebraska were able to do. The same should happen to Alabama and Tenn, because that's basically the only reason for the current structure, which is terrible.

Jesus H! Just put Mizzou in the East and be done with it.

No need to kill of rivalries or reshuffle the divisions.

A&M and Mizzou need to learn their place, you don't just come into the greatest league in the country and start stepping on toes. If Mizzou doesn't want to be in the East then they get stay in the Big 12 because frankly they aren't worth the trouble anyhow.

I agree. But y'all need to just realize that the Tenn game needs to go.

Wasn't really thinking about it like that but from more of a geography standpoint. Geography wise it makes the most sense to do this. I would say move Florida west if it made more sense, but obviously it doesn't.

I will always take two less losses guaranteed a year

Yeah maybe then State would have a shot to win the West, huh?

It doesn't 'need' to go anywhere, certainly not for shite additions like Mizzou. The SEC has made it just fine in the 93 years that Bama and UT have been playing.

What gives you this confidence to say this? I was born in Melbourne, Florida. Have lived in Anderson, South Carolina; Hoover, Alabama; and Marietta Georgia. Moved to Texas for the last two years before college and decided to go to A&M.

Point is I was born and raised in the South and SEC country.

And it's long overdue to have the current structure change, regardless of who's added to the conference. The simple fact of the matter is that with the constants, LSU plays UF every year and under expansion would play a team like UGA something like twice ever twelve years, just to appease a rivalry that nobody in the conference outside of two schools give a shite about.

Just find it funny to have aTm fans come on the board and tell us how the conference should change.

You realize this isn't going to change with Mizzou in the West, right?

No matter which division they go in, the rotation is still going to take as long. 14 teams with one protected game = 14 teams with one protected game.


Now that we've settled that, what other reasons do you have?
