...either directly or back door.

Which conference would be the best fit? Or should the Tigers go the independent route? Or is creating a new conference the best path.

Just playing a bit of whimsy here. A new conference of other disgruntled and good fit schools could be fun. First advantage I'm seeing is getting away from a Bama or Texas centric league. Another is getting back to a better sized league again, i.e. maybe 12 schools.

Eastern Division:

Florida
Florida State
NC State
Virginia Tech
Georgia
Tennessee

Western Division:

Auburn
Kentucky
LSU
8&4
Oklahoma
Texas Tech

How long would it take for the SEC to close shop?

I wish we could go back to 12 SEC schools, and, for that matter, where we were on conferences about 25-30 years ago. These conferences are getting too big and losing their regional feel. There should be a PAC10 still as well.

Yes, I enjoyed the smaller regional conferences, with the rivalries that develop and getting to see EVERY school on a rotational basis.

Every school? Every divisional school, sure. But we will play every school now at least twice every 4 years and in Tiger Stadium at least once.. That is more than we did with Eastern Division schools by a long shot.

Look at how long it was between Georgia and Tennessee games in Death Valley. Since 2000, LSU has played Georgia 3 times and Tennessee 4 times in Tiger Stadium.

There is a plus and minus to everything.
