but what would switching divisions have to do with these teams ending the Iron Bowl?
The thought process is Bama would keep UT over AU. I highly doubt it though

No way this would happen. The Iron Bowl would become permanent, and Alabama would lose its rivalry against Tennessee.
At the time the Auburn-Florida game ceased to be played annually in 2002, Auburn and Florida had played 81 times since Florida football began in 1904. Tennessee and Alabama played 83 times between 1904 and 2002.... only two more times.
Why is is preposterous for Alabama to be asked to give up its rivalry against Tennessee when Auburn had to do so with Florida?.... when they had essentially played the same number of times for 100 years.
Auburn and Alabama should still play annually, but Auburn should be in the East.

And you people try and say the Iron Bowl is the best rivalry in CFB.
But honestly, I don't ever see this happening. Bama wouldn't end the iron bowl to keep a series with Tennessee alive. Unless I just don't understand the dynamics down there at all(which is possible).
