At the 12 team level they were good. 14 it took too long to cycle through.
With that said it definitely provided a solid goal to hit and a marker for a great season even without a NC. Will never forget beating auburn to go to the seccg in 2001. Every move in the last 5-10 years has de emphasized the regional sport and making it national championship or bush.
Also as to someone leaves point it brought in some new rivals.
We rarely played auburn previously and Florida wasn’t annual game until the 70s and certainly then being a permanent cross division added something more to the game. Hell I even like our game with tflagship and can’t see that continuing either.
With that said I think the new additions are great from a football side and think this is a good thing.

You CAN'T blame that on divisions. A 9 game conf. schedule could have resolved it.
