The only Missouri games that feel semi natural are Arkansas and Kentucky. Everything else feels forced.

Missouri has been in the East for 5 years now and it still feels like a non conference game when I watch them play VOLS

Auburn can move to the East and drop the Iron Bowl.

It's like being in a home where you get beaten regularly by bigger and stronger abusive people and look across the lawn to the playground with kids singing and dancing.

Yes. Georgia is the biggest threat over there and we already have to lose to them so why not?

Maybe Auburn should go east, all the way to the ACC.

From a Mizzou fan. You realize nobody thinks y'all belong in this conference, right? You don't get to even suggest charter members leave for another conference

Wrong. Alabama is the only school in favor of 9 games to help the problem with continuing long standing rivalries and to play more SEC teams. The rest of the league are bitches


If memory serves me, UGA/UF/USC/KU were AGAINST it until everybody else had a perm OOC game. Don't know if the now mandatory P5 game satisfies that holdup?

Columbia, Missouri is a 15 hour drive from Gainesville, Florida. For reference, Chicago is only an hour longer at 16 hours from Gville.

It is absolutely forced.

Calling all chickens, calling all chickens.

Drop all four additions and start over. Simple.

More like Alabama wasn't going to give up its cross-divisional game with Tennessee, nor were they going to willingly take on a 9th conference game a year.

Here's a suggestion to make Alabama and Mizzou happy....
Move alabama to the East and Mizzou to the West...
Bama gets to keep its long time rival Tennessee and play every year and Auburn can become their cross conference rival they play every year....nothing changes for those three rivals...
Mizzou gets to play closer to home in the West. A more natural fit.
Everybody should be happy!

LSU will be VERY happy to get their athletic bigger brother out of the house! Then they get to pester younger brother Auburn.



Also, if Alabama becomes perm. rivals with Auburn, you've just ended Deep South's Oldest Rivalry (UGA/Auburn). AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN (& sure as hell WON'T be an OOC game either).

Lets do it. Auburn can play Bama every year as they are instate rivals and Tennessee will play its natural rival in Missouri. It makes perfect sense.

Just making suggestions to help all of you permanent rivals out...
LSU only has Ole Miss as a rival, (that's what I hear) so we're open to make some changes
