Both Alabama and Auburn should move to the east. Move Missouri and Vandy to the west.
New permanent opponents would then be.....
Georgia vs Ole Miss
Tennessee vs Vandy
Auburn vs Arkansas
Alabama vs Texas A&M
South Carolina vs Missouri

Do you know where Knoxville is?

Until VA Tech is added, it's all I got.
I had to pick Bama to take Florida, since LSU fans complain about that game every year.

See, what I don't get is why the hell shitty teams like ole miss always get paired with shitty teams from the east like vandy and south carolina. Wtf, how is that fair? That's the whole point of the permanent cross rival bs. Lsu is stuck with florida and ole miss and state get vandy and uk respectively...wtf is that? The only fair way to do this is to rotate east opponents. If we are just going to swap florida for georgia, which I would take in a heartbeat, and vandy for south carolina etc...then what's the point? We need to have the east and west cross division rotate and have no permanent rivals. That's the only fair way to do this.

We need to restructure the divisions and have a 2 team cross division on the schedule every yewr, with both of them rotating between 2 other teams from the other division. frick all of the permanent cross rivals. Tsio and dsor included. Fair is fair.

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.
OM - Vandy/UGA
Mizz - USCe/UGA
Thanks for the 2 auto wins!

Bama - AU/TN
LSU - AU/UF

MSU - Vandy/UK
Mizz - USCe/UGA
A&M - UK/UF
Arky - USCe/TN
WON'T work without divisions since there's NO WAY to compare teams in who's better than whom WITHOUT common opponents. Divisions give you @ least 5 schools to compare yourself to somebody else.
Adding more teams will have to switch to pods. Yes, I know the whole "division" argument by the NCAA, but each year pair up 2 pods & that's 1 division. Case solved.

SEC WON'T put same-state schools in different divisions. This idea is out.

So, you want LSU to have KY & basically have an auto "W" for the Tigers. Think that's fair for the Wildcats?
The SEC put tough teams vrs. tough teams & the rest against the rest.
