re: Anyone else warming up to the idea of keeping the two divisions in the SEC?

No, I want pods so we can play everyone in the conference every three years.
4 pods of 4 teams
3 games against others in pod each year.
1 game against an opponent every year if you both want it.
4 or 5 rotating games.
That gives you every other team in the league every 3 years even if you don't increase to 9 conference games.
I would prefer the 5 game rotation personally.
If the SEC went to 9 games (6 game rotation), then you would see every team home and away every 4 years. That would be sweet.
