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.

Sounds like more bending over backwards to maintain a couple of rivalries that only involve 4 teams. We get that Auburn has been playing Georgia for a long time. We just don't really care.

No, the permanent cross-div. system must go. It is antiquated, unfair, and coercive.
