It's simple:

8 game schedule. No divisions. No 'permanent' opponents.

Each school would play:

3 teams each year for four years

5 of the 10 other schools would rotate onto the schedule for a home and home for two years

5 remaining schools rotate home and home for the next two years in this four-year cycle.

Top 2 records go to Atlanta (tiebreakers would be necessary)

Then, switch out the three four-year schools and start over.

In this system, each school would play every school in the conference at least twice every four years. To placate Bama, TN, Aub, and GA, the longest any school would go without playing the other would be two years.

Unfortunately, because of the NCAA rules on having a conference championship game this won't work. The rules are that the conference must be seperated into divisions and the teams in those divisions must play a round robin schedule against everyone in their division. So by having two 7 team divisions, 6 of every team's games are already set in stone, the only one's movable are the cross-divisional games.

The best solution?

Let Bama/Tenn and Auburn/UGA do their permanent things.

Everyone else rotates with no permanent.

Obviously we'd play Florida, Missouri, UK, Vandy and South Carolina more often than we'd play UGA and Tenn since they are only rotating one team a year while the others rotate 2 teams.

Its not difficult. There's no reason why everyone else has to do what Bama and Auburn want...oh wait, the SEC office is in Birgmingham. Nevermind.
