Instead of East and West, why not North and South Divisions?

South:
LSU
aTm
MSU
Auburn
Florida
Georgia
South Carolina

North:
Missouri
Vandy
Tennessee
Kentucky
Ole Miss
ArKansas
Bama

I put Bama in the North instead of Georgia or USCe in order to preserve rivalries (i.e. Bama gets to play Tennessee and Auburn every year and the Auburn/Georgia and Florida/Georgia also remain). I think that this separation would keep all rivalries intact while keeping the current 1 permanent cross-division opponent scheduling that some fans love.

The ACC and Big 12 are pushing for deregulation. This would allow for a conference to not have divisions and place their top 2 teams by standings in a CCG.

So in the sec can a schedule of 2 permanent and 6-7 rotating would be possible. I think this would be work well.

I like the N/S approach. There are certain rivalries that need to be kept. WLOCP, DSOR, IB. I'd hate to see UT go to the other division but REALLY want AU to play us every year so it evens out sort of. UGA is the big one that needs to stay with us for me.

But you also split tLandmass and LSU leaves Ole Miss, Bama, and Arkansas.

What rivalries absolutely need to be salvaged?

This would work assuming ole miss cross division rivals were state and LSU every year.
I'd be ok with this
