re: Well this news is sure to put some fan bases on edge with OU/UT obviously making the jump.

SEC office is missing a chance to go to pods and do the roommate switch. Parity will be a natural outcome and schools will get to keep rivalry games.

West:
Mizzou
Ark
OU
Texas

South:
AM
LSU
MSU
OM

East:
USCe
UF
Geo
Vandy

North:
UK
Tenn
Bama
Auburn

A pod plays another for 2 years and then switches to the next and then next. Each team in the pod has a perm rival in the other pods.

Ex
Arky plays Texas, OU and Mizzou in their pod. Then have perm rivals in USCe, OM, and Auburn. The Arky pod then rotates between the other pods.

This keeps the championship game intact and rival games as well through the perm opponents.
