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?
Yeah, I pointed that out in the first thread that suggested this matrix. While Alabama would be playing tough opponents every year, the ultimate teams we would be competing against would be middle-tier at best. True, Auburn and Tennessee tend to have up years at times, but they haven't had a strong run of recent success since the 90s, unlike Florida, UGA, USCe, LSU. Texas A&M, honestly, would need to prove to me they can continue their pace without a JFF at QB. They're one year removed from 7-6, and their record since 2005 is only 58-43 (with losing seasons in 08 and 09).

I see that point but Alabama would still be in a small division with Auburn and Tennessee. I don't think either program has the advantages (mostly the coach) that Bama does... but then again neither does anyone else in teh NCAA so it might be something of an unavoidable problem.
Looking again the only thing that makes me worry a little bit is the SEC North is really weak in terms of not only traditional powers (none of the big 6 and no A&M) but also really weak in terms of recruiting grounds... they have Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, and Tennessee whereas other divisions have Florida, Texas, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi.
In theory I do think Missouri could recruit a lot better if they dipped into Illinois more seriously but as it stands that division is reminiscent of teh Big 12 North's recruiting problems.
SEC East: Florida, UGA, USC
SEC South: Tennessee, Auburn, Alabama
SEC West: LSU, A&M, MSU, Ole Miss
SEC North: Missouri, Arkansas, Vanderbilt, Kentucky
