They can still play them in a 9 game set up. So can auburn Georgia and Florida. It can all workout. God forbid we have to play Vandy along with Georgia and our usual Florida in the same season.
Playing southeastern, the citadel, Furman etc is fricking embarrassing. It’s not fun for the fans and the players. It’s garbage.

Ok but how would that work for the other conferences? Idk their setups currently but we can’t play 9 conference games if they don’t play 9 conference games

No it's like you didn't even read your own post. You STATED you wanted to make the divisions more equal as to strength one has to assume. Moving the conference number 1 to the east where you already have 1-A means you leave one of them automatically out of the conference championship game every single year. And to a side of the conference where theoretically you would also have the number 3 or 4 power (UF) especially now that they have gotten their coaching situation stabilized. So now that side has the numbers 1/2/3 teams some years and almost always 1/2/3 or 4. Switching Bama is to switch the power structure of the league and it doesn't fit the natural flow of east/west and it disrupts the entrenched rivalries in the west. You have fixed NOTHING and have in fact made the east top heavy and more powerful. Switching the # 3 or 4 west team (AU) to the east fits geographically, rivalry wise (AU VS UF) and with a 9 game schedule disrupts neither the LSU-Bama, AU-Bama, AU-UGA nor UT-Bama games. And adds UF-AU. 2 permanents and one rotational other division games. A side with Bama, A&M, LSU vs a side with UG, UF, AU and a sure contender in the future UT. Just switching AU makes the east as tough as the west.

Lol. I can’t tell if you are trolling or not. Of course it means “you leave one of them out of the conference championship every year”. Welcome to LSU and Auburn’s world. Georgia was arguably not 1A last year as they got blown out by LSU and finished with the same amount of losses and a head to head loss. Georgia is good but if they had to deal with Alabama every year I guarantee they won’t seem like an obvious “1A” any more.

Auburn is not in the 4 best teams. Those are Bama, Uga, LSU, Florida.

They have won their division TWICE since the last time LSU did.

Who are you considering to be the other of the 4 best teams?

Sure, but Skray was acting like there was a big enough difference between LSU and Auburn that putting Auburn in the East somehow messed up the balance

Well, they are national contenders much more frequently than LSU.
2010 - SEC Champs, National Champs
2013 - SEC Champs, National Runner Up
2017 - SEC West Champs, essentially one game away from playing for a national title.
LSU hasn't sniffed that kind of success over that stretch, if we're being objective, so I don't think his statement was wrong.

The ACC and big10 do it. They both have 14 teams just like the SEC.
The Big12 and pac12 also have 9 league games.

Ok, if we are breaking it into tiers
Teir 1
Alabama
Tier 2
Georgia
Auburn
LSU
Florida
Tier 3
Mississippi state
Tennessee
Ole Miss
Texas A&M
Arkansas
Tier 4
South Carolina
Missouri
Kentucky
Tier 5
Vandy
In my system 3 of the top 2 tiers are in east. 2 of them are in the West. Not sure what’s unfair about that since there is no better way to split it and keep the rivalries

Auburn has been in an SECCG more recently than two of the teams you listed.
Auburn has wins over the SEC playoff teams more recently than Florida or LSU.

You say that I only started in the mid 2000s but then leave out anything beyond 2010
Posted on 3/4/19 at 4:20 pm to skrayper
No they don’t. LSU beat Georgia this season
Posted on 3/4/19 at 4:23 pm to OKTGR580
Oh ok. Like I said I didn’t know how their conference schedules worked

You never answered who your fourth out of the “four best teams” would be
