We'd need Oklahoma and Texas in the west to really balance things out then.
I think his idea of balance would be to swap UA/AU in the West with UK/Vandy in the East.

Then I'm sure Tennessee would start bitching about not having its annual game with Vandy.

But there is no competitive balance in that scenario. Divisions would be too unbalanced. But a 16 team league could balance that out.

Balance? I didn't say that at all. It would keep the rivalries intact, while not having permanent opponents. And it would give each team 3 games against teams in the other division. That way we get to see certain SEC East teams more than once in 10 years. That's the best way to do it if permanent opponents were axed, which fortunately looks like isn't happening.
I am not in favor of it, and I want it to stay the way it is. The 3 best games on LSU's schedule is UF, Bama, and Auburn, and I don't want that to change.
I for one am upset that Georgia doesn't come to LSU this year, and instead we have to play Kentucky.
I understand it's hard for you, as a Bama fan, to wrap your head around someone wanting competition for their team.
