You can have a 20 team SEC, with a 10 game conference schedule, east and west divisions, preserve all rivalries and even restore some old ones.
Remove Mizzou (or Vandy).
Add Clemson, FSU, Ga Tech, Ok St, Miami
If you remove Mizzou then everyone's natural SEC or state rivalry is in the conference and they can play each year. If you remove Vandy, then the Vols just have to play them as an OOC game each year to preserve that rivalry, which isn't much of one.
It would be, hands down, the best conference in the nation, with the toughest schedule and most respect.
Here is what it would look like with Mizzou gone. It restores the UF v Auburn rivalry, so those teams have an extra SEC game, which could just be un-counted for SEC standings.
B = bye or OOC game.
Start the season on the last Saturday in August, go for 15 weeks, CCG games are done by Dec 10th roughly. Use the BCS numbers, top four, 4 travels to 1 and 3 travels to 2, play on Jan 1st, then title game on Jan 10th. That's your season. That's 12 games, 3 bye weeks. Or with two bye weeks the season ends one week sooner and the title game can be done before Spring semester starts.
ETA - I have USC playing itself, supposed to be a B, naturally. Forgot to add UK and Louisville rivalry. Just wouldn't be a conference game. One of the B's for UGA would be the FSU game.

Well, frick you too. I can understand the 10-team traditionalists wanting Mizzou gone, but fantasizing about replacing us with Oklahoma State, Georgia Tech, or Miami is just a kick in the balls.

I don't think the SEC is ever going to remove one of their first ten members in Vanderbilt. And, quite frankly, I don't think any SEC fan should want Vanderbilt removed. Who is to say that Mississippi State wouldn't be next? And, even besides that, you just totally lose tradition.
As a fan of a Big Ten team, as much as I groan about playing a school like Purdue or Northwestern, there is a certain tradition/familiarity that isn't there against Rutgers/Maryland, let alone if the Big Ten added schools like Virginia and Virginia Tech.
It's not just about "this team is competitive more often than this team." It's also about history and tradition.

There's no need for that. Add FSU + Clemson + NC St + VT to the East and move Mizzou + Vandy to the West. A 9 game schedule would suffice.
