Should the SEC do away with divisions for the SECCG?

Since it is obvious that the SEC West is hands and feet above the East.

UGA is one of the best teams in the conference.

Them wouldn't fans of west teams want the divisions? Easy win right?

After spurrier becomes commissioner, that's the first thing to happen

No doubt the West is better than East, but this weekend's games proved that it's not "hands and feet above the East."
I don't think the difference in the two divisions is as great as some people thought.

No because the SEC needs the favorite to win that game so they can win the National title. That's why we want a cupcake game coming from the East.

I wish they would take the top two teams, regardless of location and allow them to play for the conference championship. The problem with that is that the Iron Bowl is often these two teams. Neither AU or Bama would want to play again the next week.
it would allow teams to schedule however they wanted though as long as it was 8-9 games in conference.

should we have done away with it in the 90s when the east was clearly better than the west?

No. The power will balance back out soon enough. Florida and Tennessee will be back. When? I don't know. But move Auburn east and Mizzou west.

Can't have CG without divisions.

Yes. If you want the 2 best teams to play in the NCG, then surely the 2 best SEC teams should play in the SECCG. And yes, all SEC teams should rotate through a balanced SEC schedule regardless of traditional rivalries. If rivals want to maintain their seasonal play, they can schedule with each other outside the regular 8 game SEC rotation in a 9th SEC game.

I know divisions are basically an NCAA mandate to have a championship game, but the idea of just a "floating" schedule with the two best teams getting to meet in the CG sounds so much better.

No, but I've said for a long, long time that the divisions should be realigned and the cross division rivals eliminated. Given the lack of parity between the divisions this year, it makes my case stronger.
The ONLY reason the cross division rivals exist is to protect two games: Alabama vs Tennessee and Auburn vs UGA. The reason the divisions are aligned the way they are is to preserve the iron bowl. By moving Alabama and Auburn to the east, and Missouri and Vandy to the west, you can eliminate the cross division rivals AND keep all of the truly important rivalry games. It's always been a case of "unbalanced power" in the divisions, but if this year is a look into the future, it wouldn't be.
The other plus side is that all of the teams would get to play each other every 4 years.

No, this would eliminate one of two qualifying West teams from of the playoff which was created to offset the 2011 NC that featured two SEC West teams.
