Assuming Pat Dye gets his way in all aspects, the Iron Bowl would be out.
Therefore I'd propose the following:
Bama - Florida (Tennessee just isn't cutting it anymore)
LSU - Auburn (LSU fans happy to get rid of Florida)
aTm - Georgia (aTm USCe doesn't make sense)
Arkansas - Tennessee (best of the remaining, natural border rival)
Missouri - KY (they can talk basketball at halftime)
Ole Miss - Vandy (leave well enough alone)
MSU - USCe (actually not bad rivalry historically)

I'd be all for a Georgia-LSU cross-divisional rivalry.

Alabama-Auburn
LSU-Florida
Tennessee-Ole Miss (maybe even play annually in Memphis)
Texas A&M-South Carolina
Georgia-Mississippi State
Kentucky-Arkansas
Vanderbilt-Missouri

We've owned Florida that pst 5 years. Why would we want to get rid of them?

He won't. Not sure why you guys let a senile old drunk get you all riled-up.

Every bit of that 70 mile border.

Iron Bowl ain't going away, and neither is TSIO.

I'd take the LSU / Auburn rivalry.

Well, Kentucky can. I have no idea what Mizzou would be able to contribute to that conversation.

Not me. I just don't think permanent cross-divisional rivalries are a good thing. If we must have them, Florida is fine with me as ours, and certainly preferable to Auburn. If Alabama is tired of UT's worn out hole, let 'em have Georgia and A&M can have Auburn.

Florida is not a big deal. Hasn't been since 2008. They're just a trashy program with fans to match. Would rather do away with the sewage

You're ending the IB & TSIO?

The only possibility of this happening within the next 20 years would be for the conference to go to a 7 (rotating)-2(yearly non-divisional) for a total 9 SEC games schedule. Auburn can swap with Mizzou and the rivalries won't be lost.

I'd be in favor of 9 conference games with two permanent cross division opponents and then rotate the others every year. There would be classes that never played a specific team from the other side, but the that happens already and the trade off (keeping long-standing games like Bama/AU, AU/LSU, etc) would be worth it.
Bama - AU/TN
LSU - AU/UF
OM - Vandy/UGA
MSU - Vandy/UK
Mizz - USCe/UGA
A&M - UK/UF
Arky - USCe/TN

I like this. Not a horrible drive and CoMo is a nice college town.

1) LSU/Auburn. De rigueur.
2) Kentucky/Arkansas
3) South Carolina/Ole Miss
4) Bama/Florida
5) Miss. St./Vandy
6) Missouri/Tennessee
7) Texas A&M/Georgia

Why is this board so obsessed with moving Auburn to the east? I may be in the minority but what is wrong with the way it is now? 3 of the Big 6 in each division seems like a good split to me.
