re: CFN: The SEC's 6-1-1 Disaster

Are you out of your damn mind, put all but one of the SEC Football powers in the East? I'm can see the reason why a LSU would propose such madness. Get over the butthurt of the scheduling, everybody shot you down, including Florida, except SOS.

CFN: The SEC's 6-1-1 Disaster
The right way to deal with all this is to start by putting Alabama and Auburn in the East, Mizzou and A&M in the West, and moving Kentucky to the West. The initial shock will be a little hard, but within 3 years it will seem like the natural order of things. It will enable 'Bama and Auburn to play their "rivalry" games with Tennessee and Georgia, thus relieving the pressure on the concept of the permanent cross-division opponent, and will create some natural rivalries among Mizzou, Arkansas and Kentucky. And frankly, it will raise the level of play for teams like Florida, Georgia and South Carolina to have to plan for 'Bama and Auburn every year.

I agree that Bama and Auburn should move to the East to preserve the rivalry, if it comes to that, but that means LSU is a giant among midgets in the West. 5 of the Big 6 will be in the East and LSU will run roughshod over everyone. A&M might eventually get to the point where they will challenge and Arkansas might pose a threat every 4 or 5 years, but it will be LSU winning the West 75-80% of the time.

I think UGA, Auburn, Bama, and Tennessee should tell Slive to go frick hisself and go form the Southern Awesome Conference and we'll invite Florida, LSU, Ole Miss, and Vandy (every conference needs their whipping boys). All are founding members of the SEC, and we'd keep the Big 6 intact while maintaining academic credibility (Vandy, UF, UGA) and hot co-eds (pretty much everyone sans Vandy).
