Change the rule to where you can only have two divisions, and for the championship, it comes to a 4 team playoff style.
Each team gets 1 permanent divison rival

UGA-Auburn
Alabama-Tennessee
LSU-Ole Miss
South Carolina- NC State
VA Tech- Texas A&M
Kentucky-Florida
Miss State- Arkansas
Mizzou-Vandy

Each year, your division will play another division. Example- (West vs East, North vs South). Play 2 years in a row, switch home and away, then move to the next division. When you play the division of your permanent rival, you choose a team from another division. ( I realize there is flaws in the idea, but if scheduled right it could work)

The playoff system for conference championship is by who wins their division (all sec games count), and then gets the highest seed. Highest seed first goes off record, and then rankings. The two highest seeds will get a home game, and then the SEC championship game will rotate each year between Atlanta, New Orleans, Dallas, and (Nashville or Charlotte).
