Looks fine to me. We basically have this imbalance now with the way the Easy has been.

The SEC needs to place Mizzou in the West where they belong, alongside its Big 12 brother A&M and future rival Arkansas.

On second thought, this is a great idea. Just swap Vandy and LSU. I'm sure the OP would agree.

Other than the SEC West being a cakewalk? In that scenario the East might as well break off and start their own conference.

Makes perfect sense, yet you'll see fans of the schools moving crying saying the west is too easy.

Move Auburn to The East and let Mizzou be in The West. That makes geographical sense and let's get rid of permanent cross divisional games. Rotate out all cross divisional games.

The easiest and best solution is to allow Bama/Tenn and Aub/Georgia games to be counted as out of conference games in the years they aren't on the official SEC schedule. Then play a true rotating schedule that is fair to everyone. No permanent rivals.
Even LSU/Florida could go that route.

Actually yhe easiest thing to do would be to move Arkansas and LSU to the Big XII, then move Mizzou to the west where they belong.
This would accomplish several things:
1) aTm and Mizzou would play every year so there would be some carry over there from their Big XII days.
2) Auburn/UGA, Bama/Tenn and Auburn/Bama all continue annually without issue.
3) SEC returns to a more manageable 12 teams and a 5-2-1 schedule.
4) LSU and Ark are now in a conference that fits them more geographically and don't have to worry about SEC bias.

I'd be fine with going to the East, regardless of how easy the West becomes. No need to bitch, moan and cry because you have too hard of a schedule. I'd love to have Florida, UGA, Tennessee and Bama on an annual basis.

If you want change, just reset the divisions.
DIV A
Bama
Vandy
AU
MIZZ
UGA
OM
MSU
Div B
UF
USC
UT
LSU
A&M
UK
Arky

I'd move Florida and Missouri or Vanderbilt to the West instead of Kentucky.
Posted on 6/10/13 at 12:15 pm to monsterballads
Keep Kentucky, give up Vandy, and the east can go ahead and start their own conference.
Posted on 6/10/13 at 12:57 pm to monsterballads
Perfectly logical.

Yes. Bottom line, if Bama/Tenn and Aub/UGA have to play each other every stupid year this is the best solution. It also makes sense geographically. Either break up the permanent cross-divisional matchups or re-align the divisions. Play and simple. Sure the East will be stronger than the West, but it was like that for years before Bama's return to glory and LSU's rise to prominence since 00. Make it happen!

Make no mistake, this would be the ideal solution.
But Bama so scared to play in the East.

Auburn going to the east makes sense, bama not as much. UF is not pleased with the idea of playing auburn every year you are nuts if you think they will sign off on bama moving as well.

This is better, more balanced.
South East: Bama, Tennessee, Florida, LSU, South Carolina, Georgia
North West: Vandy, Miss State, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, Ole Miss
B12: Auburn, A&M
South East: Bama, Tennessee, Florida, LSU, South Carolina, Georgia
North West: Vandy, Miss State, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, Ole Miss
B12: Auburn, A&M
