North vs. South

Would North and South divisions make more sense than East and West divisions?
North:
Missouri
Kentucky
Arkansas
Vanderbilt
Tennessee
Alabama
Georgia
South:
A&M
LSU
State
Ole Miss
Auburn
Florida
South Carolina
Georgia/Auburn, Georgia/Florida and BAMA/Auburn would be the only permanent pairings. This also makes it possible for each of these match-ups to take place in the SEC Championship game. Currently only the Georgia/Auburn pairing is possible. The other marquee pairings (BAMA/Tennessee, LSU/A&M and even LSU/Florida) are already preserved.
I know the South would be a tougher division but what’s the difference between having LSU, A&M and BAMA and LSU, A&M and Florida? Last year aside, Arkansas and South Carolina have been comparable programs over the last five years. Besides, it’s been said a thousand times on this Board that college football is cyclical. Tennessee will recover eventually, which would balance out the divisions.

As long as UF isn't in any division named "North" I'm OK with it.

As a usc fan it would suck..4 teams in the compete opposite side of the sec and closest team would be florida

You wouldn't be able to do all 3. UGA/AU would be lost

Think Game of Thrones, not the civil war.

You can include last year and your point still remains.

AU would have to play 2 permanent rivals (UA and UGA) or sacrifice one. Getting rid of the annual IB probably wouldn't be too bad. Definitely not AU/UGA.

As an Alabama fan, I approve of these divisions.

I for one don't want to play Mizzou, Kentucky, Arky, Vandy, and Tenn every year.

Isn't Arky the only one you don't already play every year. . .

Yeah but if we're flipping divisions I want more change than that. Not 5 scrubs and Bama.

If you really wanted to separate by north/south, then you should have put Ole Miss in the north and Bama in the south. Of course, this would suck for everyone except Georgia.

Yeah, Ole Miss is farther north than Alabama.

Flipped them for the sake of competitiveness. It's certainly not as bad as Missouri being in the East when almost every school in the West is East of them.
If you want to be technical, Vandy is West of Auburn. . .

You have to be trolling on this to think any self respecting SEC school would want to be in a division with the name North in it.
