I think it will be #1 and it pisses me off.

Let Auburn go to the East where they want to be and to hell with Alabama and Tennessee. If their game is so important to them then they can schedule each other as a non-conference game some years.

LSU has been forced to give up SEC night games in Tiger Stadium. LSU and Kentucky had to can our annual game when we went to 12 teams. Auburn and Florida had to give up theirs. Some of us have already made sacrifices so the Gumps and Hillbillies can too.

Having said all that I know lots of Missouri alumni and fans. A large number of them don't mind at all if they are put in the East. They realize that the travel distances are not much different and feel that they can compete in the East much sooner and easier than taking on LSU, Alabama and Auburn in the West.

I agree. If Missouri goes to the East and doesn't get Tx AM as their permanent rival, wouldn't that really hurt their recruitment in Texas. The Texas recruits are very important to Missouri. I would think that if Missouri goes to the East, that they would insist on having Tx AM as their permanent rival.
