Missouri is the team that got hosed. I like the idea of moving either Alabama or Auburn to the East. It just makes sense. The permanent opponent thing needs to go away. There are only a few teams that benefit from this arrangement. I would rather see every team get to play every other year. That just makes sense also. But Bama runs the conference much like Texas runs the the Big 12 and look what has happened with them. This conference is being ruined by Birmingham.

AU v UF rivalry is one of my favorites. It also is close enough to be a home game for me at UF. I think one of the other posters hit it on the head with old SEC v New SEC being rivalries everyone wants to see. The Mizzou, ATM, Arky don't have historical or geographic ties to make them exciting and I think it never will be because they are not feasible yearly travel games.
I would not want to lose the Iron Bowl tradition. 9 SEC games could solve issues without swapping divisions and let us play all the teams more often.
