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.
