The pod system is great if we're at 16. But I think before grouping the teams geographically the teams should be "seeded" based on history and realistics prospects going forward. Each pod should have a 1,2,3 and 4 "seed' for balance. I've heard Va Tech and NC St as the most likely new additions. If true I would make the 1 seeds Alabama,Florida, LSU and UGA, 2 seeds Auburn, Tennessee, A&M and S Carolina, 3 seeds VA Tech, Arkansas, Missouri, NC ST, 4 seeds Vandy, Ole Miss, Miss St, UK.
Yes, UT is historically #2 by many criteria, but I think UT needs the absolute right coach in order to win big. I feel that UGA, LSU and UF can win realtively big without a great coach. A&M historically is maybe below a 2 seed, but I think they have greater potential and could soon approach 1 seed caliber.Va Tech would be a 2 seed over the last 10 years, but will they remain there when Beamer retires and they move to a tougher conference?
The below pods look pretty balanced. And everyone could keep one constant opponent so that the sacred cow rivalries could be maintained.
Alabama, Auburn, Missouri, UK
LSU, A&M, Arkansas,Ole Miss
UGA, Tenn, Va Tech, Vandy
Florida, S Carolina, NC ST, Miss St
