Dude Really? Must not believe the Aggies will ever make to SEC title game
I’m being realistic here. In most years the SEC deserves to get 2 teams into the CFP & that won’t happen unless the loser is Bama. Do you really think the Big 12, B1G or PAC 14 champion has been better than the SEC
#2 the past 5 years?
And don’t take my suggestion of it being A&M moving to be chicken. Don’t see anyone else with a Clemson home/home. It just makes more sense that the newbies be realigned to create the needed balance.

Expansion screwed up some great rivalries.
Loved the FL/AU series. Now I will be lucky to see them face each other in the regular season maybe three times in my remaining years.
And, I will never get why Mizzou was placed in the east. It just makes no sense.
That being said, I do really enjoy the LSU game as well --- so again, even if we moved to the East, the expansion would have cost a fun series.
I think the A&M series might be good, but I still don't see much enthusiasm for anyone playing Mizzou.

The home/home with Clemson was scheduled before they were a perennial power.

Dude, what are you on? Tuscaloosa, Athens, and even Knoxville is closer to Auburn than Gainesville. Quit using that Auburn math degree and Google it.

What is always wrong with such thought is that even with keeping AU-UA as a permanent cross-divisional opponent is that it ignores the legacy of other teams Auburn has played every year for decades.

Would provide the needed “balance”. I’m for it.

True. But the SEC WON'T break up same-state teams. So, who's moving where since it won't be Ala./Aub. nor Tn./Vandy nor Miss./MSU. Therefore, you have LSU, Ark., or TA&M. Of those 3, Mizz. is closer than Ark. & TA&M.....leaving it to be LSU. HOWEVER, they are further west than Ala., Aub., Miss., & MSU!!!
Ultimate decision is we're back to square 1 unless we add/remove teams because going division-less won't happen either.

What balance? That now leaves the west to be Aub. or LSU every year.

That’s kinda my point. This talk of “balance” is really just a west complaint that Bama is in their division.

Your retarted. You beat LSU 1 time. And now you think you on our level. They put up 70 points on your sorry arse team. 
Texas A@M is the most west of all teams. Look at a map Miss Gig. You just got in the SEC and now you want to be put in the East so you can get to play Tennessee and Vandy and Kentucky every year. And have it easy to the conference championship game. I got news for you. You faggies are all excited. But you would still be 3rd behind Florida and Georgia if you was over there.

Move bama to east. Move mizzu, arkansas, vandy out of SEC. Move Okie, Ga Tech,in SEC

That's preposterous. A better idea is that once the SEC poaches 2 more Big12 teams, Alabama and Auburn move to the East. Mizzou and the new additions in the West. Alternate the SEC Championship game between Atlanta and a major city in the West.

Everything about Auburn being in the East makes more sense.
Yep, Florida and Auburn took one for the team when we went to divisions and I think we both will have a big voice in any further alignment discussions. As a whole it was good for the conference and hence good for Aub & Fla but we hated giving up that game.
And I would add it was bad for the rest of the East because Auburn has always been a thorn in our side. We cannot seem to beat them on the reg even when we have a better team on paper.

And the past always predicts the future.
You posted the same stupid point on another thread. We get your obsession with Texas A&M.
Thank you very much!

What most think or believe rarely predicts anything. Texas A&M has a great coach, better facilities than pretty much everyone in the SEC except maybe Alabama and has more money that pretty much everyone in the SEC for athletics.
Only an idiot would be surprised if Texas A&M shows up in an SEC title game in the next 9 years.
But then some college degrees are worth more than others aren't they?
