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.

You don't know what you are talking about. Bama has been on the record about what which game would take priority if AU moved to the East. That was under Mal but I doubt that Bill Battle (former UT coach) will change that view
Perhaps you should compare Bama's history with Tennessee and Auburn.
