North vs. South

Would North and South divisions make more sense than East and West divisions?
North:
Missouri
Kentucky
Arkansas
Vanderbilt
Tennessee
Alabama
Georgia
South:
A&M
LSU
State
Ole Miss
Auburn
Florida
South Carolina
Georgia/Auburn, Georgia/Florida and BAMA/Auburn would be the only permanent pairings. This also makes it possible for each of these match-ups to take place in the SEC Championship game. Currently only the Georgia/Auburn pairing is possible. The other marquee pairings (BAMA/Tennessee, LSU/A&M and even LSU/Florida) are already preserved.
I know the South would be a tougher division but what’s the difference between having LSU, A&M and BAMA and LSU, A&M and Florida? Last year aside, Arkansas and South Carolina have been comparable programs over the last five years. Besides, it’s been said a thousand times on this Board that college football is cyclical. Tennessee will recover eventually, which would balance out the divisions.

As long as UF isn't in any division named "North" I'm OK with it.

You wouldn't be able to do all 3. UGA/AU would be lost

You can include last year and your point still remains.

AU would have to play 2 permanent rivals (UA and UGA) or sacrifice one. Getting rid of the annual IB probably wouldn't be too bad. Definitely not AU/UGA.

As an Alabama fan, I approve of these divisions.

I for one don't want to play Mizzou, Kentucky, Arky, Vandy, and Tenn every year.

If you really wanted to separate by north/south, then you should have put Ole Miss in the north and Bama in the south. Of course, this would suck for everyone except Georgia.

You have to be trolling on this to think any self respecting SEC school would want to be in a division with the name North in it.

UF/UG not in the same division?

I need to be sure of the appropriate naming. Somebody help me out:
Missouri -- Show-Me Gump or Yankee Gump?
Kentucky -- Basketball Gump or Moonshine Gump
Arkansas -- Hillbilly Gump or Toothless Gump (or Swine Gump, etc.)?
Vanderbilt -- Parametric Derivative Gump or Antinutrino Gump (or just plan Nerd Gump)?
Tennessee -- ??? I don't know. Bourbon Gump??? Wannabe Texas Gump???
Alabama -- Gump (obviously)
Georgia -- Redneck Gump or Leg-Hump Gump?
A&M -- Sheep-frick Gump or Jizz-Jar Gump?
LSU -- Rat-Eatin' Gump or Boudreaux Gump
State -- Grinder Gump
Ole Miss -- ???
Auburn -- Buzzard Gump
Florida -- Jorts Gump or Retirement-Village Gump?
South Carolina --
Missouri -- Show-Me Gump or Yankee Gump?
Kentucky -- Basketball Gump or Moonshine Gump
Arkansas -- Hillbilly Gump or Toothless Gump (or Swine Gump, etc.)?
Vanderbilt -- Parametric Derivative Gump or Antinutrino Gump (or just plan Nerd Gump)?
Tennessee -- ??? I don't know. Bourbon Gump??? Wannabe Texas Gump???
Alabama -- Gump (obviously)
Georgia -- Redneck Gump or Leg-Hump Gump?
A&M -- Sheep-frick Gump or Jizz-Jar Gump?

No SEC school will ever agree to be in a "North" division - ever. East-West is fine but no one wants to be associated with anything from the North.
