Ok, I made a slight adjustment to option 4. Really no need to flip flop Auburn and Tennessee...so leave them in their current divisions...move Miss State to the East and put Mizzou in the West:

SEC East:
Florida
Georgia
Tennessee
South Carolina
Miss State
Kentucky
Vanderbilt

SEC West:
LSU
Auburn
Alabama
Arkansas
Mizzou
Texas A&M
Ole Miss

Permanent cross-division games would be:

LSU / Florida
Auburn / Georgia
Alabama /Tennessee
Arkansas / South Carolina
Mizzou / Kentucky
Texas A&M / Vanderbilt
Ole Miss / Miss State

Thoughts?

Very nice. I could see the Arkansas fans wanting Mizzou, though.

It's a bad idea. With the lowest budget in the SEC, travel cost for our school would increase and our "poor" fans can't travel(drive) as easy to those games as Tuscaloosa (90 miles) or Auburn or Baton Rouge or Fayetteville for that matter. The only bordering state is Tennessee and knoxville isnt' close at all. What's weird is State has hardly ever palyed any of those teams in it's entire existence. It's would be like adding another Mizzou to the east in terms of rivalry or intensity or interest for that matter.

I prefer taking my lumps from the likes of Bama and LSU.
