Bro - SEC West and SEC East are just NAMES. Its OK if they aren't literally applicable to every member...the directions won't get their feewings hurt. Hell the Atlanta Falcons played in the NFC West for decades and the world didn't explode.

Call them the Grits Division and the Coke Division instead of East and West and there is zero reason to change anything.
It's a geographical name problem, not an alignment problem.
I prefer the Bandit and Snowman divisions, but yes. These coonasses and rednecks want us to start all over (again) in setting up recruiting contacts and it's pure bullshite.
The divisions aren't going to change until the day two more teams are added.
Until then, they need to deal with it.

This needs to happen..its absurd the way it is...like when New Orleans and Atlanta was in the NFC West division with San Francisco and Los Angeles all them years...

So groovy guy, tell me what the SECC game was suppose to teach me. Keep in mind I didn't think we would beat Bama. Besides, I'm not the one puffing out my e chest saying how the West would be a calk walk for us if it was set up that way.
The current SEC West got their collective arse' handed to them in the bowl games, so only a delusional and stupidly arrogant fan base would strut their shite in this thread instead of having some humility. Not hard to figure out.

It makes far, FAR more sense to have the divisions as is than it does to completely and utterly shite on competitive balance. You can't have alabama, auburn, florida, georgia, and tennessee all in the same division. It's not possible.
Hell while you're at it just exchange SC and UK and bring in clemson and florida state too.

The current divisions are about as balanced as you can get historically. Yes, the East has been down but it hasn't always been that way and it might well change again. No matter how you slice it, Alabama and Auburn need to be in one division and Georgia and Florida in another. Tennessee has been an equal with LSU over the long haul. Missouri is at least as good as A&M and borders 2 East division states and only one West division state. Kentucky and Vandy have not be that much different from MSU and Ole Miss over the years. But yea the West is stronger but unless you split up Alabama and Auburn, I don't see how it can be more equitable.

This is the kind of stuff Clay Travis writes, and it's why I don't read Clay Travis. Your idea isn't nearly as well thought out as you think.
LSU vs Alabama
Mississippi State vs Alabama
Mississippi State vs Auburn
Two of those three traditional games get the ax in your idea, and that's why your idea will live on only on message boards and Clay Travis articles.

The cross-divisional "rivalry" game needs to just go away.
Posted on 1/3/15 at 9:29 am to Wolfhound45
Isn't there any way that you can get Kentucky into LSU's division and move A&M or Ole Miss or Arkansas out?

I say we split the Alabama and Tennessee schools.
I can see this. Send Vandy West and Auburn East. Should have better balance.

No. LSU guy wants away from Alabama as fast as possible.

A Common Sense Approach
When the conference was expanded with two teams west of the Mississippi river, the problem was that you couldnt have 8 teams in the west and only 6 teams in the East.
So either you fight with the different AD's about which West team would move to the east, or you just place Mizzou into the east until such time you can expand to 16 teams with two new programs located geographically in the east.
Common sense.
Logic.
Posted on 1/3/15 at 10:19 am to Wolfhound45
Because then basically all the conference power schools (Bama, Florida, Georgia, Auburn, Tennessee or Mizzou) are in the East and the scrubs are in the West with the exception of LSU.

The west would be murderers row in your scenario....
Granted ole miss would get to play the weakest east teams.
But the east would still have three weak teams.
USC Vandy Kentucky
West would have one
Texas am and they are going to swing up
Would have to move another weakfish team from east to west
Not sure this is true, the West in this scenario would still have Arky and the two Mississippi schools that's pretty equivalent or worse than having UK, Vandy and USCe

Most people don't want change. This is why people bitch about HUNH, they still want 10 yards and a cloud of dust.
There is no way Mizzou should have ever been in the east more than 1 year. But, you have the east stacked and all it will do is give LSU more West Conference Titles, it will make them weaker by playing such an easy schedule.
The easier way is to not have divisions and the 2 best teams play for the title.

The current map makes the most sense. If we add any more teams east, likely two, then Mizzou would be moved to the west.
Mizzou instead of SC playing Arky every year makes great sense because nobody cares about South Carolina outside of Columbia. Maybe the new game of Texas A&M and South Carolina will spike more interest than Arkansas and South Carolina.

Why are things so bad how they are now? The competitive balance is 9000x more important than geography, and that's how we're split now. Don't fix what ain't broke.
