Cause that's where Bama wanted them to go.

No way Bama ever lets Auburn go to SEC east.

We should change the divisions to blue and yellow. The east west thing is gone.

It drives me frickin crazy that Missouri is in the East. It's embarrassing, really.

I'm hoping at this point we just add an NC and a VA school, and put MO in the West and be done with the madness.

It is an outstanding question. I am very surprised that no one has ever brought this up before.

Divisions are mostly geographic but also balanced for competition.

Look at the NFL or MLB and you'll see geographic oddities here and there too.

Wasnt that long ago that the Braves were in the NL West. Major rivalries with the Dodgers and the Giants. I sort of miss those days.

Geographically it makes sense, and also the SEC can have the possibility of a Bama vs. Auburn SECCG.



That is our SEC academics on full display for everyone. What's the problem?

I'm pretty sure Georgia Tech has first dibs on our spot in the B1G. We stuck.

But that's OK since we already own the real estate between the hedges.

Because by doing that you're putting either the IB or TSIO @ risk of being eliminated.
Also, I personally don't think the SEC will ever split a state amongst 2 divisions (so no to TN/Vandy nor Aub./Ala. splitting). Besides, you have those in-state rivalry games to keep.

Remember from 1969-1993 when the Atlanta Braves were in the NL WEST?

Mizzou will be the first and only team to ever win the East and West. That's why.

Gumps killed over losing the Iron Bowl. I can't even imagine the massacre that would ensue if they lost the SECCG to Auburn.

Move Mizzou and Vandy to the west, Alabama and Auburn to the east. You're welcome LSU.
