NOw that we have had some discussion , I say drop divisions and do NOT start pods. The divisions almost always are not equal and the top two teams are very likely to be in the same division......
I wish you well on that one. The big 12 got pushed into one division look when they refused to live up to their name. Plucking the top 2 teams for the CCG is fine and dandy, but in a 16 team conference, the SEC won't even think about it.

I doesn’t seem like people respect the East due to continual weak teams. Just seems like the division concept hurts the west as far as only one opportunity for possibly the top 4 teams in conference.
When I suggested OU to the East in order to balance quality and keep the SEC plan , people assumed I was dodging competition. Moving Bama and auburn to east and putting both OU and Texas in west is a huge change for SEC and remakes the conference into something completely different....
Now after feedback I think the best thing is 2 or 3 annual rivals then rotate through the conference without divisions or pods. It keeps the SEC the SEC so to speak, allows the one real thing people want( annual rivals) and gets rid of the issue of a perennially weak division.....
Basically IDC other than I want to keep the best parts of the SEC: the 8 conf games, and the Opportunity to do more or less with the OOC and byes, and the flavor of being south eastern teams without a SW flavor.....could rotate through the entire conference every 2 years without divisions or pods...
