Your ideal SEC?

Just curious, what would be your preferred SEC?
16-team? 14-team? 12? 10?
Which schools?
How many divisions?
This is different from the SEC layout topic from yesterday because I'm asking which schools you would add or drop from the conference.
All of this realignment and "teams to SEC" talk just has me pondering things.

12 teams.. like it was before we pulled aTm and Mizzou.

4 teams.
Bama
Auburn
Tennessee
Georgia
Of course to make that work the calendar will have to add several more third saturdays in October.

my ideal SEC would be 12 teams, two divisions of six, with a 5-3 conference schedule, with one permanent cross divisional opponent.
same teams we have now minus arkansas and missouri.

I'd love a 10 team league with a 9 game conference schedule so everyone plays everyone.
Even though A&M has proven to be a worthy addition, I would have to cut them and Missouri out since I'm still not used to it.
I don't remember the SEC before Arky and USCe, but since they are also the latest additions I guess kick them out. I'd rather see the Mississippi schools go personally.

14 team, 9 game schedule
Or 16 team(still East and West division), with an 11 game schedule.
I want three year max to get through the schedule. Anything less is unsatisfactory.

16 team 4 pod
Pod A
A&M
LSU
Ark
Mizzou
Pod B
Bama
Auburn
Ole Miss
State
Pod C
Vandy
Tennesse
Kentucky
Virginia Tech
Pod D
Florida
Georgia
South Carolina
UNC
9 game Conf Schedule
3 Pod games
4 Games from second pod on a rotating basis
2 games from the remaining 2 pods (1 game each)
With this set up you could retain LSU/UF, Bama/UT, etc. if you wish and still get to play every opponent in a rotating 3 year span.

only thing i would change is get rid of MIZZZZOU and add a team from North Carolina
Posted on 11/28/12 at 1:26 pm to loyalauron
Should have never added 13 and 14.
The SEC really had a good thing with the 5-3 schedule and a championship game.

Auburn in the SEC East and move Mizzou to the West
Posted on 11/28/12 at 1:29 pm to loyalauron
The way it is now except:
drop Mizzou (sorry...not really)
add Clemson, Duke and UNC
We'd run pretty much everything.

I would never have added 2 teams. I am afraid we get to 16 before all is said and done...

I like the teams now in the SEC but to satisfy the "Rivals", I suggest the following:
SECWEST- LSU,A&M,AR,MS,OM,MO,UK
SECEAST- VU,GA,UA,AU,FL,SC,TN
Play a 8-4 schedule
I have my helmet on and chinstrap tightened, as I sure I am going to get bombarded by Bama fans, yelling about this; don't want to play bama, blah blah blah.There would be no permanent cross divisional game and each team would play cross divisional teams more often than now. Ducking now!! LOL

Get rid of Missouri, Arkansas, and Texas A&M. Add Virginia, North Carolina, and Clemson. They add better academics, sports, university towns, and money overall.

In the ideal world and focusing on revenue generation:
16 teams
Pickup UNC and Va Tech for the east
Put Mizzou in the West, where they geographically belong.
Play 9 conference games.
