Pod 1:LSU, A&M, Arkansas, Mississippi state
Pod 2:Bama, Tennessee, Auburn, Missouri
Pod 3:Georgia, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Vanderbilt
Pod 4:Florida, South Carolina, Ole Miss, Texas


Geographically doesn’t make sense but I feel like this evens them out about as much as it can get

People are trying to figure out how the hell a 16 team conference is going to work without ruining the SEC's oldest rivalries.

Yes I agree. It’s important to keep them together. I hope we just do what we do in basketball and have 3 permanent opponents then do rotations. That basically keeps every rivalry alive.

Going off the past 10-20 years

I split up the top 4 SEC programs: LSU, Bama, Georgia, and Florida,

Gave each 2 sub par programs: Auburn, Oklahoma, Texas, Mississippi state, Ole Miss, A&m, Kentucky, Tennessee

Then each 1 cupcake: Missouri, Vanderbilt, South Carolina, Arkansas

Arrange those 3 categories in any way and I think it evens it out better than going by location

Pods are great if you also are playing permanent games each year.. otherwise it isn’t possible.

Seriously, we should do a draft. Ignore rivalries unless teams are equal. Just take the best team available.. and see how different it looks

No! Missouri got to have Texas or Georgia or Florida! Again need a major foot prints to recruits! No the other way around!

Why people want pods! Just to prove it isn't going to work! Divisions is best scenario. Go 2 divisions, 4 crossovers and 1 out of conference.
