Change can be good or bad. Before SEC expansion in 92, LSU hardly ever played Auburn. LSU and Auburn didn’t play from 1942 to 1969. Almost immediately after the divisions were formed, it became must see football with the 94 Interception Game, 95 Bring Back the Magic, and 96 Barnburner. It became even more dramatic in the 2000s as we all know. We would never have had that without expansion.

Plus, competition has gotten a lot tougher for some SEC teams and others it has gotten a lot easier due to being able to get good players. The game is much more fun when most are evenly matched, and they should be more fun than seeing lopsided games.

Alabama's schedule didn't really change much. Just added Arkansas to the schedule.
The bigger thing to me is having teams like Oklahoma and Texas in the SEC. It's just not right. Nothing against them personally, but they are Big12 teams and that's the way it should have stayed. Too many damn teams and it makes no sense.
15-25 years ago was the sweet spot.

That came at the expense of Auburn-TN and Auburn-FL, which were longtime rivalries played every year that produced their own exciting and noteworthy games.
