Then we could have a true SEC East/SEC West. Bring OU, OSU, and Missouri to the west, move Auburn/Alabama to the East. No need for permanents any longer in this scenario, or is this too unbalanced?

SEC West: Arkansas, LSU, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Missouri, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas A&M

SEC East: Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vanderbilt

True. The SEC's 5 sacred rivalries are in tact

too unbalanced
Of course, it fluctuates year to year but it looks fine to me.


13 years ago, the west was dead and all the power was in the east.

Last year, the east was dead and all the power was in the west.

This year it was balanced.

shite changes, it looks good to me.

Why not simply add Virginia Tech and NC State to the East and simply move Missouri to the West instead? That geographically aligns the divisions with as little interruption among the charter members. I respect the heck out of OU, but adding the North Carolina and Virginia market is much more lucrative to the SEC than adding Oklahoma whichc has about one fifth of the population of NC and Virginia combined. The only thing I'd prefer to that is to replace NC State with UNC but I think UNC will be difficult for the SEC to land.
