The SEC pulled the "permanent cross divisional rivalry" thing out of thin air in order to maintain two rivalries in Tenn-Ala and Aub-UGa. None of the other teams (now 10 of them) have any reason to care about the permanent cross-div. system.
Once you look at things this way, the question is not "why are LSU fans against it," but rather "why is any fan of any team that is not Tenn, Ala, Aub, or UGa in favor of it?"

I didn't take the time to look and see if this would have changed anything, but what if cross-divisional game record was not taken into account when determining division champions? The only time this could be an issue is in the event of 3 way ties like in 2012 with LSU, Bama, and A&M. In that case, you could use the cross-divisional record to decide who goes to Atlanta.
Not a perfect solution (especially in the playoff picture), but it could help for conference championship implications.
