I want to keep the same set up but move AL & AUB to the east and put OK & TX in the west. See below.
New SEC
East
Alabama
Auburn
Florida
Georgia
Kentucky
South Carolina
Tennessee
Vanderbilt
West
Arkansas
LSU
Missouri
Miss ST
Oklahoma
Ole Miss
TX A&M
Texas
Play 10 Conf games
Everyone in your division plus 1 cross division Rivalry & 1 alternate cross
Cross Rivalries:
East vs West
Florida vs LSU
Kentucky vs Miss ST
S Carolina vs TX A&M
Vandy vs Ole Miss
Auburn vs Missouri
Tennessee vs Texas
Georgia vs Oklahoma
Alabama vs Arkansas
Rotate the remaining opposing div teams yearly H & A and in 14 years you have played everyone in the conference at least twice.

This is the simplest logical geographic approach.
Yep. The East would have Bama/Auburn/UF/UGA/Vols. The West would have LSU/OU/Texas/A&M. And Bama/Auburn could move back to the West once the SEC adds some combo of Clemson/FSU/NC/VA schools.

Since there will be 16 teams, the SEC should really keep the divisions.

It's because a majority of SEC schools voted against adding a 9th game.

Scheduling is easier with pods & divisions.
Divisions, BTW, automatically determine the SECCG teams (something many foreshadow will be troublesome with this non-divisions setup).

Nine conference games, no permanent opponents.
NO WAY will ANNUAL rivalries be sacrificed.
Not to get on my soapbox, but I have a 4X4 pod setup that preserves ALL rivalries with full H/A in 6 years (opposed to this 4 year push) & changes the SECCG teams.

You might consider trading out Auburn and KY in your groupings since Auburn is mileage-wise the nearest school to UF and is an historic rival with UGA and UF. KY, TN, and Vandy are historical rivals as is UT with UA. AU and AL would still find a way to play each year.
I'd be fine with auburn not being Bama's permanent opponent. They series has always benefited them way more than it does us anyway.

That's more geographically correct.

I wish we would have stayed with division play. It just seems more fun playing for and winning the West or East. I know it’s not a huge change just playing out the season and taking the 2 best teams. It just feels like teams accomplished more when you say that this team won the West or East.

Just swap Mizzou and Vandy for Bama and Auburn.
Vandy CAN'T leave Tn. (neither Ala./Aub., Miss./MSU, nor TA&M/Tx.).

Exactly! WHY else call it a "transition year"?

*NOR are they scheduled as OOC.

Everybody usually plays their in-state schools that week. So wouldn't OK & OKST meet?

OSU has refused to schedule OU

Thanks. Didn't know that.

quote:the SEC didnt bring in Texas and OU to get rid of one of the best and longest running neutral site rivalry games, and I'm sure other schools dont want to give up theirs either. Having said that, I'd be fine playing aggy every other year or so, same with Piggy.
The only fair way to do it is do away with all permanent rivalries and every team rotate through all other teams.

I think rivals need to stay. It doesn't matter as much with a 12-team playoff. Teams with 2 losses will be able to get in so there is more room for error.

4ea 4-team pods. The winner of each pod play an SEC championship semi-final game. Play the 3 teams in your pod, and rotate 2 teams from each of the other 3 pods. Best way to do it period.
