Let's talk about doing away with SEC divisions

On ESPN Radio's Sports Today show, Hannah and Ott discussed the Big 12 doing a conference championship between the two best teams - no divisions. I realize they're small enough to where they can all play each other, but the parallels they drew to the SEC were interesting.
Would you support doing away with divisions? How do you think it would work, schedule-wise?
I would love it! I'm sick of playing @Tenn every 7 years or so. It's ridiculous to think that the current setup is the best way. I would love to expand to 9 SEC games, and simply rotate your opponents. You'd play every SEC team within two years, and play at both locations of each SEC team within 4 years.
It'd also be great to get the two TRULY BEST teams out of the conference.

I'm pretty sure we've already talked it to death.

The last time LSU went 7 years without playing UT was 93-00 before that 75-82...

Don't mind him. What is motivating that post is the fear of having to play Florida every year while Alabama gets to play Tennessee.
So unfair! Waaaa
So unfair! Waaaa

Sorry, 6 years. We last played @Tenn in 2011. Now playing there again this year.

Divisions are never going away. Auburn is staying in the East. SEC HQ is staying in Birmingham. Now STFU about it

Let's talk about replacing the SEC with an annual dog rodeo and craft fair.

I want LSU to play UGA more, those have been great games.
Fournette/Guice vs Chubb/Michel would have been a sweet matchup

Really?So it's simply a round robin with teams rotating
on and off through the 14 SEC teams?So some years Alabama/Auburn,Florida/Georgia,LSU/Bama,etc,wouldn't be played?

So how do you determine the best 2 teams if there's
One team in 1st and two teams tied for 2nd or maybe a 3 way tie for 1sr?Would you have a committee that votes???

9 conf. games = yes
no divisions = HELL NO!!! It's the ONLY balanced way to give common opponents to 1/2 the conf. each year. Without them, prepare for numerous tiebreakers!
& WHAT "parallels" can you draw between a 10 team & 14 team conference?
