Arkansas and South Carolina, believe it or not, have weakened the SEC slightly. Each school has a losing record in the SEC since 1992, and neither has finished as the best team in its division (Arkansas has represented the West thrice; twice thanks to Alabama's probation, and once thanks to a touchdown literally being given to them in Little Rock in 2002).
But, if the SEC expanded, I'd like to see three teams added, with three five-team divisions (top two division winners meet in SECCG; third division winner automatically becomes SEC#2):
West: Arkansas, Louisiana State, Mississippi, Mississippi State, Tulane
Central: Alabama, Kentucky, Louisville, Tennessee, Vanderbilt
East: Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Georgia Tech, South Carolina
Scheduling: Play all four division opponents; two permanent rivals from the other divisions; all other opponents rotate.
Arkansas: South Carolina, Tennessee
Louisiana State: Florida, Kentucky
Mississippi: Georgia, Vanderbilt
Mississippi State: Alabama, Auburn
Tulane: Georgia Tech, Louisville
Alabama: Auburn, Mississippi State
Kentucky: Florida, Louisiana State
Louisville: South Carolina, Tulane
Tennessee: Georgia, Arkansas
Vanderbilt: Mississippi, Georgia Tech
Auburn: Alabama, Mississippi State
Florida: Louisiana State, Kentucky
Georgia: Mississippi, Tennessee
Georgia Tech: Tulane, Vanderbilt
South Carolina: Arkansas, Louisville

Memphis > Louisville
We don't need anymore Northern teams from Kentucky.
P.S. -- I like the way you think, though.

I love the idea...but will not hold my breath.
I do feel like the SEC needs to do something.
I know a big SEC/Auburn fan who feels that the SEC should even consider removing themselves from the BCS - and establish their own empire (network(s), championship, media campaigns/sponsorships, scholarship program tie-ins, etc.) - AGAIN, will never happen - just wishful thinking.
