Given the fact the whole deal was put in place to appease TENN and BAMA, and a lesser extent UGA and AU, wouldn't that mean there were 8 teams (now 10) that see no real benefit from this system?
The simple solution is to move both Bama and Auburn to the east and move Kentucky and Missouri to the west - everybody should be pleased.

It makes geographic sense! And Auburn gets its old rivalries back!

Honestly, the easiest solution is to tell BAMA/UT and UGA/AU to go frick themselves and their historic rivalries and get with the program. This is now a 14 team league...it doesn't belong to those 4 programs. What would be best for the league would be to end any and all permanent opponents so that cross division teams can be rotated equally. Somehow Nebraska and Oklahoma managed to put their historic rivalry aside for the betterment of the Big 12 when they switched divisions and the sun came up. I promise, if the third Saturday in October came and went and BAMA and UT didn't play...the world would not stop spinning. Same goes for UGA/AU.
And for those who puff up their chest and exclaim "I ain;t skeered!"...fine. But you are allowing yourselves to be baited into a shitty, unequal schedule because you're afraid of being called chicken. Why any LSU fan would be for this when the direct result benefits BAMA in that they get what they want (their little hate-fest game with UT) and they get the easier game making their road to Atlanta easier is beyond me.

The complaint here, and it's actually valid I think, is that the East would be loaded and the West would be LSU's to lose most years.
I was thinking we need to forget geography altogether. If some rivlaries are important than how bout this:
Division A: UGA, Florida, LSU, A&M, Arkansas, Ole Miss, Miss. St
Division B: Alabama, Auburn, Tennessee, S Carolina, Kentucky, Missouri, Vandy.
The first division may be slightly tougher most years, but it's close. It also keeps UF-UGA, UT-Bama, Bama-Auburn, Ole Miss-Miss St, Etc.
