Don't think they will go that route.
It either has to be strict geographic pods of four OR two divisions of eight each.
We have to be in one with Ark, OM and MsSt.
You then have:
Texas, TAM, OU, Mizzou
Bama, Aub, Tenn, Vandy
Fla, UGA, SoCar, Kent
Anything else just opens up too many questions IMO.
An argument could be made that Bama, Aub, UGA, Fla get lumped together, leaving SoCar, Tenn, Vandy and Kentucky but I don't see them doing that.
If they let TAM slip out from playing Texas every year that is the most pussy shite ever.
Easiest thing to do is make two eight team divisions with MS/AL being the dividing line
West
LSU
UT
TAM
OU
Ark
Ole
MS St
Mizzou
East
Bama
Aub
Tenn
Vandy
Kent
Uga
SoCar
Fla

It truly is remarkable how people who do this for a living can't seem to figure out the scheduling should be really, really easy.
SEC West: OU, Texas, Missouri, Arkansas
SEC South: A&M, LSU, Ole Miss, Mississippi St.
SEC Central: Alabama, Auburn, Tennessee, Vanderbilt
SEC East: Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Kentucky
If the league plays an 8 game schedule each team will play the other three teams in their division (3 games); each division will play another division on a yearly rotating basis (4) games; then you play one more game vs. a team from one of the other two divisions (either on a rotating basis or based upon conference division standings from the previous year---just like the NFL does).
The divisions would be balanced (as best as possible) The ONLY yearly "historic" rivalry that wouldn't be naturally preserved is Auburn v. Georgia. However, I bet if you ask Auburn fans who their most hated rival is 99.9% would say Alabama. If you asked Georgia fans the same question the overwhelming majority would say Florida. BOTH of those yearly games are preserved.
This isn't difficult!
