Don't say everybody wants Auburn to move to the East. That's a blatant lie. (Not you StopRobot, I replied to the wrong poster)
I don't want to see the top teams in the 2 divisions look like what's listed below every year:
East:
Florida
Tennessee
Georgia
Auburn
West:
Alabama
LSU
That's not parity. Who steps up and consistently challenges LSU and Alabama every year? Ole Miss? Mississippi St? Arkansas? Missouri? A&M? That's laughable.
Adding Missouri to the West does nothing to the West in terms of competition or altering the road to Atlanta. If anything it makes the road to Atlanta easier for Bama or LSU. Missouri instantly jumps to the bottom of that division and the battle for the West now goes through Baton Rouge or Tuscaloosa even easier than before.
Auburn wants out of the West because it's a tougher division at the top -- Not because of some BS distance excuse you're trying to sell. Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida fans aren't jumping through the roof to make sure that this happens because of some "Traditional rivals" BS. That's laughable. Auburn wants this change for its own selfish reasons. Not for parity. Give me a break.
I'll be the first to say it and I don't give a damn about it. I don't want Auburn in the East and I hope that it never happens.

So on one hand you say Auburn can't move to the east because the east would be too tough. On the other hand, you say Auburn wants to move east for an easier schedule.
Can't have it both ways

I sympathize because I'd be skeered of big bad Auburn too if I was in your shoes.
The severe case of PTSD from watching Ronnie Brown Bowl over your best defensive players must've been rough.

Your theory is great, except for the fact we were pushing this even when the west wasnt so great...
