New SEC Divisions:
WEST
Ole Miss
Mississippi State
LSU
Arkansas
Missouri
Texas A&M
Oklahoma
Oklahoma State
EAST
Alabama
Auburn
Florida
Georgia
Tennessee
Kentucky
Vanderbilt
South Carolina
Every team plays 7 divisional games, plus 2 rotating cross-divisional games.
I think it would be fine to do away with cross-divisional rivalries now that Georgia-Auburn and Tennessee-Alabama would be protected.
Let's face it, LSU-Alabama has only become a big rivalry in recent years. And LSU-Florida always seemed unimportant to both fan bases relative to their other rivalries.
Auburn-Mississippi State and Alabama-Mississippi State would be two other long-standing rivalries that would be lost, but I don't see a great loss to the conference by not playing those games.
By playing 2 rotating, cross-divisional games per year, every school would play a home-and-home with every team in the opposite division once every 8 years. I think that's enough.
SEC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME
Rotate it every-other year between Atlanta and Arlington.

you had me until Arlington.
the moment we move the SEC Champ from Atlanta for a year, the ACC will come in and set up stakes.
the SEC championship is perfect as it is and will get better with the new stadium(in spite of anus roof). it is also in Downtown atlanta with easy public transit. atalnta is easy to fly into.
your poor alumni will drive 2000 miles to get to the game. Your rich alumni will fly to the game no matter what. it makes no difference.
stay away from Arlington. nice stadium but not that great of an experience.
would alos like to keep that stadium avaiable to the Big 12 as a carrot to that conferences ineptitude.
