re: Why do the bottom tier SEC schools have the easiest cross-divisonal games?

1. The system we have now was devised by Alabama, Tennessee, and UGA AD's. It was created to assure the 2 longstanding rivalries get played AND to make sure that UF and LSU have to play a tough CrossDiv team. Auburn had nothing to do with this arrangement.

2. We continue to have this system because the football-irrelevant schools (UK, Vandy, Carolina, R-Kansas, State, OMiss) like the fact that UF and LSU have to play each other every year. They do not want a quicker rotation that would have them playing UF or LSU more often.

3. I have given up thinking this will ever change. Or that the SECCG will ever be rotated like it should be. Or that the SEC Baseball Ty will be rotated like it should be. The Tuscaloosa-Knoxville-Athens "axis" runs this conference with the assent of the bottom feeder schools.
