This shows how out of place Missouri and Auburn are:
Auburn avg distance from west schools: 359 miles
Missouri avg distance to east schools: 578 miles
Flip flop Missouri and Auburn and:
Auburn avg distance from east schools: 265 miles
Missouri avg distance to west schools: 448 miles
Auburn is 94 miles closer on avg to the east division, Missouri is 130 miles closer on avg to the west division
Auburn avg distance from west schools: 359 miles
Missouri avg distance to east schools: 578 miles

Yup. I thought when us newbies were invited it was crazy to put Mizzou in the East. I understand why it was done, but it's still crazy.

On the other hand, nobody has WVU's travel schedule. That's insane.

BTW I do a bit of graphing, too. If you'd send me those helmet icons I'll be in your debt.

Straight line distance isn't really the issue, if you're talking about driving. The major roads in Missouri run east and west--they basically have to go to St. Louis to get to any other SEC school other than Arkansas and A&M. The other mitigating factor is that by being in the East, they get Arkansas as their permanent cross division opponent. If Missouri went West and Auburn went East, then Missouri might end up with South Carolina as a cross over opponent.
Over a distance of 500 miles, most folks are going to fly rather than drive.
