If A&M joins the SEC you can bet that Bama will send Auburn to the East.


1. Why would Bama be able to unilaterally move Auburn to the East?

2. There has to be another team added to the West to make this work. A&M plus Mizzou/Oklahoma etc, then I agree...Auburn goes to the East.

This will cause other issues however. Bama would want to play both Tennessee and Auburn every year, and that just wouldn't be possible if both were in the East.

In Bama the talk is about the times when Bama wins the West and Aub wins the East

It's possible. The conference could go back to the two permanent cross division rivals system.

OU won't leave Texas. A&M hates Texas at a deep level even going to the administrative and regents level. Not just an athletics type of thing, but a deep seated hate. OU on the other hand is a rival with Texas on the field, but there is no competition in academics and very little animosity from other areas.
