What does everyone think about going to a 9 game SEC schedule and rotating the 5 home/4 road scheduling format between the 2 divisions? In other words, one year all SEC West teams get 5 home games with 4 road games while the next year all SEC East teams get the same arrangement. That's the only way I can see that all schools can plan their OOC schedule to ensure they never have less than 7 home games in a year especially considering that most SEC East teams have permanent OOC rivalry games. This works for Florida, Georgia, USCe, and Kentucky because they can setup all their rivalry games to all be at home the same year. This allows them to have these OOC rivalry games at home in years they only have 4 SEC home games. Thoughts?

Shut the frick up State fan. Miss State made it to Atlanta in 1998 because their East opponents were Kentucky, Vandy, and South Carolina. LSU beat State 48-7 that year.
Just like UGA back doored their way to Atlanta this year.

Nice of you to start at 2000 instead of 1993 when Florida became LSU's permanent opponent. Even starting with only 2000, it seems Ike LSU is the only team that has to play TWO multiple BCS Championship winning programs every year. And by your numbers, Bama gets a cupcake as its permanent opponent.
My god this post reeks of butthurt and you would be wrong.
Auburn plays Bama and LSU every year, oh and get this Auburn also really wants to play Florida every year as well. I guess we not skuured

Let me prep by saying I don't care the final scheduling answer and since we're still not technically in the league yet to have a say....
That being said it appears these rivalries are much more important than the drivel The Les is spouting. AU & ALA moving to the East would satisfy lots of rivalry issues. I don't care either way for us, but for y'all long time SEC fans keeping the old rivalries appears to matter a lot. That's cool. I get it.
I am starting to think there is no way the SEC can go to 16 teams to meet the rivalry demands and at the same time satisfy The Les that everybody has a fair schedule.

Me thinks he was referring the their current USC vs Arky 'distance' and now the apparently new A&M vs USC permanent rivalry. Long f-ing way away from each other. I'm okay with it since I live in VA, but it is a long way for most fans. Do USC fans travel well? Have no idea, so somebody help out. You should visit A&M once to get the feel.

Are you fricking high?!
Auburn - Alabama, LSU
Miss St - Alabama, LSU
Ole Miss - Alabama, LSU
Arkansas - Alabama, LSU'
Texas A&M - Alabama, LSU
Tennessee - Alabama, Florida
LSU - Alabama, Florida
Exactly half of the fricking SEC plays multiple BCS championship winning programs every year.
Get over yourself and stfu.

They didn't travel well to Arkansas at all which is one of the reasons for us wanting to change. To be fair though, our fans didn't travel well out to there either. It's surprising considering there are multiple direct flights from Northwest Arkansas to Columbia, SC daily.

It is amazing how a multiple BCS winning program can be made up of such giant crybabies. I pick on yall for having little brother syndrome on the regular, but Auburn fans have stanless steel balls the size of the fricking moon compared to the BB sized marbles that reside in the LSU fanbase. It is seriously fricking pathetic and to be honest, embarassing.

Wrong about the last fact, but not the others.
Any Gumps or Aubbie that doesn't like the move of Bama and Auburn to the East is admitting that there can be a competitive disadvantage in the SEC. So they are thereby being hypocritical if they criticize Les Miles for pointing out the competitive disadvantage that LSU is in.

Wow. Just wow. I never thought I would see the day where the head coach of the mighty LSU Tigers was whining that Miss St's schedule might be easier than his. Nevermind that most years, teams like MSU, OM, UK, and Vandy have tougher SEC schedules than the Big 6 since MSU has to play LSU while LSU does not play itself.

Are you sure about that? Auburn has said a several occasions they want to move to the east, they belong in the east, but they were vetoed from moving.

Competitive disadvanatage? Really?
Alabama playing in the west plays 3 bcs winning teams every year.
If we move to the east, we will play 3 bcs winning teams every year.....
yeah, the difference would be so astronomical its unreal.
We would basicly trade Arky for UGA, and the mississippi's for vandy and kentucky. And LSU for Florida.
There is absolutely zero competitive difference for us moving to the east. So obviously thats not really the problem is it?
The problem is that as an LSU fan, yalls all about me attitude has not only left you without a true rival after a century of playing football but also keeps you from seeing that there are other teams in this league besides you and most of us like the system the way it is and has been. LSU is the only team making a push for this change. There may be another team or 2 on board, but if you hadn't noticed, they are keeping their fricking mouths shut because they have enough sense to know when their vaginas are showing and cover them the frick up.
