Then make the schedule 9 games no permanent cross division rivals.
Sliding cross divisional games, so teams get home and homes before not seeing a university for 4 years outside of champ game

Why do LSU fans always seem to be the ones to propose this particular alignment? I wonder why that might be...
Posted on 1/2/15 at 9:46 pm to Wolfhound45
I think this is a great idea because then LSU won't have to play any of those super-hard-to-beat teams anymore.

frick that realignment, not playing Auburn or Alabama every year would suck arse.
LSU fans need to deal with the schedule and win the games at hand.

Need someone to give me some good reasons why we do not switch Missouri and Vanderbilt to the West and move Alabama and Auburn to the East. It keeps rivalry games intact (TSIO and IB) and gives a true West to East break down. Why have we not done this?
Go.
SEC - West
Arkansas
LSU
Mississippi State
Missouri
Ole Miss
Vanderbilt
Texas A&M
SEC - East
Alabama
Auburn
Florida
Georgia
Kentucky
South Carolina
Tennessee
Man I wish. Considering that A&M is our bitch and the Mississippi schools are still Mississippi schools and will only have decent years once out of every ten, LSU would have a cakewalk to the SEC Championship every year. The biggest problem we would face-----Arkansas. But when Bert has an obesity-related stroke or heart attack and is soon gone, they will no longer be a threat either.

Split the MS schools
Split the TN schools
Split the AL schools

Because LSU likes a full stadium in the 4th quarter once every two years when Bama comes to town in order to get their third and fourth and Chavis on...

Dream on LSU fans. You ain't moving Vandy to the West. With the exception of Ole Miss, we are much more aligned with the East teams. Nobody is going to change that. Who made LSU fans the spokesmen for the Conference anyway?

I think you give up on the geographical stuff and just go with:
Alabama..................LSU
Tennessee................UF
Auburn...................UGA
OM.......................Mizzou
MSU......................Arky
A&M......................SC
UK.......................Vandy
I guess you still lose UGA/Auburn. Not sure where that ranks with y'all or how important it is to main. What others do you lose?
Still have:
Bama/Aub
Bama/UT
UGA/UF
OM/MSU
Alabama..................LSU
Tennessee................UF
Auburn...................UGA
OM.......................Mizzou
MSU......................Arky
A&M......................SC
UK.......................Vandy

Bro - SEC West and SEC East are just NAMES. Its OK if they aren't literally applicable to every member...the directions won't get their feewings hurt. Hell the Atlanta Falcons played in the NFC West for decades and the world didn't explode.

This needs to happen..its absurd the way it is...like when New Orleans and Atlanta was in the NFC West division with San Francisco and Los Angeles all them years...

The current divisions are about as balanced as you can get historically. Yes, the East has been down but it hasn't always been that way and it might well change again. No matter how you slice it, Alabama and Auburn need to be in one division and Georgia and Florida in another. Tennessee has been an equal with LSU over the long haul. Missouri is at least as good as A&M and borders 2 East division states and only one West division state. Kentucky and Vandy have not be that much different from MSU and Ole Miss over the years. But yea the West is stronger but unless you split up Alabama and Auburn, I don't see how it can be more equitable.

This is the kind of stuff Clay Travis writes, and it's why I don't read Clay Travis. Your idea isn't nearly as well thought out as you think.
LSU vs Alabama
Mississippi State vs Alabama
Mississippi State vs Auburn
Two of those three traditional games get the ax in your idea, and that's why your idea will live on only on message boards and Clay Travis articles.

The cross-divisional "rivalry" game needs to just go away.
Posted on 1/3/15 at 9:29 am to Wolfhound45
Isn't there any way that you can get Kentucky into LSU's division and move A&M or Ole Miss or Arkansas out?

A Common Sense Approach
When the conference was expanded with two teams west of the Mississippi river, the problem was that you couldnt have 8 teams in the west and only 6 teams in the East.
So either you fight with the different AD's about which West team would move to the east, or you just place Mizzou into the east until such time you can expand to 16 teams with two new programs located geographically in the east.
Common sense.
Logic.

Because then basically all the conference power schools (Bama, Florida, Georgia, Auburn, Tennessee or Mizzou) are in the East and the scrubs are in the West with the exception of LSU.
Posted on 1/3/15 at 10:48 am to Wolfhound45
Most people don't want change. This is why people bitch about HUNH, they still want 10 yards and a cloud of dust.
There is no way Mizzou should have ever been in the east more than 1 year. But, you have the east stacked and all it will do is give LSU more West Conference Titles, it will make them weaker by playing such an easy schedule.
The easier way is to not have divisions and the 2 best teams play for the title.
