Maybe play with the permanents a little, but yea, this is the best solution.
I know personally, the 3 teams I want LSU to play every year are A&M, Ole Miss, and Bama. There isn't a rivalry with MSU, and they have beaten LSU only once since the first Bush was President. No need to keep that as a permanent opponent, when LSU could play a Bama, AU, or UF every year. Though I'm sure UF fans would prefer, UGA, UT, and AU as their permanents. And Auburn fans would likely prefer, UF, UGA, and Bama.
I know Bama would want UT and AU most, but not sure about about #3. LSU?
I wish the SEC would find a way to make this a reality.

Under this plan, during even years, Bama is the only present day SEC power in their division.
On the other hand, Florida, Georgia, USC, LSU, and TAM find themselves competing against each other in the other division during even years.
What is fair about Bama being virtually guarranteed a divisional title during even years?

I pretty much agree with this, although, and this probably won't be very popular with LSU fans, I'd really like to see LSU play Bama, A&M, Ole Miss AND Arky every year.
But ultimately the Bama-UT/AU-UGA thing will probably be like the Rose Bowl under the old Bowl Alliance. If you'remember the Rose Bowl didn't want to have anything to do with a BCS style post-season arrangement due to the long standing tradition of having the Pac and Big(x) champions play. But that tradition had to go when the Rose Bowl committee saw the writing on the wall. Change was going to happen and the best they could do was work out an arrangement that sort of kept the old tradition, but not exactly.
Traditions come and they go. It used to be tradition to have the SEC champion play an at-large team in the Sugar Bowl every year, but we had to give that up for the sake of moving forward with a more fair post-season arrangement, I see the same thing happening with the old SEC rivalries.
After all, no one is saying Bama would never play UT again, just that it won't be every single year.
