Here's the bottom line gist of this thread.
Tennessee is an auto win for Bama and will be for the foreseeable future.
No team in college football history has had an easier time with their supposed rival than Alabama has bad with Tennessee.
Plenty of us can imagine Bama running off 20+ consecutive wins over Tennessee .... and that's just not right when we're talking cross divisional permanent rivals. If the tables were turned Bama fans would agree.
There is no redeeming value in the Bama vs Tennessee TSIO game anymore. It's over, it's history yet it is affecting the entire conference in a negative manner.
That's all we're saying.
I mean even a blind pig finds an acorn from time to time but not Tennessee ... and the game has become an embarrassment. If nothing else Bama should show some mercy.
On the other hand there is something particularly delicious about it being Bama who gets to inflict so much pain on the Vols after what the Vols and Pfat Phil did in the Albert Means case. So I get that.
But what is happening right now is bad for the conference.
Let Auburn come to the East, make Auburn Bama's permanent cross division rival and everything will be right in the world. Think of the possibilities.
It's the way things should be and we ALL know it.

So you’re against permanent cross divisional rivalries but you want Bama and Auburn to be PCDs...

This is the correct solution. Makes UF's schedule tougher, but it's the right thing to do.

But that can't happen because they want NO perm c-d rivals.
So, that means the SEC is to do __________???
