NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Switch Missouri for Ole Miss and then you have balance with the following added benefits:

1) LSU keeps Ole Miss on the schedule every year - Ole Miss is probably the closest thing to a traditional rivalry we have left
2) Ole Miss balances the divisions in a couple ways:
2A) The four weakest teams in the SEC are Vandy, KY, Ole Miss, and MSU. They need to be in four different divisions for competitive balance reasons (the same reason the Big 6 should be spread into different divisions)
2B) The traditional SEC teams need to be spread into different divisions so every division still resembles the SEC. What you have in the A&M, Arky, MO, LSU division is more like the Big 12 or SWC than the SEC

West - A
Bama (TN)
Mizzou (A&M)
Miss St (OM)
AU (UGA)

West - B
LSU (UF)
Arky (USC)
TAMU (Mizzou)
Ole Miss (MS St)

East - A
UF (LSU)
UGA (AU)
NC State (VT)
UK (Vandy)

East - B
VT (NCST)
USC (Ark)
Tenn (Bama)
Vandy (UK)

Each team's perm opponent is in parentheses. Every 4 team subdivision plays all teams within and another full subdivision. That way we play UGA every 3 years, and at Athens every 6. That way every subdivision plays 7 common opponents. Winner of each division is decided by the 7 common opponents. So we don't have to worry about our LSU v. UF game costing us a shot at the SECCG while A&M Plays Mizzou.
