Need to stay at 8, with one permanent
Problem is that with this approach the schedules will be even more uneven and you'll have more situation like you did this year in the east where UGA coasted to the championship game with an easier cross division schedule. If you are going to use these games as the primary record for conference ranking, you need to have more similar schedules, not less.

kick out the MS schools. UK adds a nice campus and basketball and vandy for smarts. MS adds nothing, in fact the SEC loses money because of them

That sucks from a tradition standpoint. However it will make scheduling less of a nightmare.

You'd still play everyone in your division. That's all you need to determine who meets the other division champ.

Exactly, you can't have division champs when all teams don't play each other in the division. I mean, I suppose you can, but it's going to cause a shite ton of controversy.

Technically yes, in fairness, no. Unless the common division games are all that counts in deciding who goes to Atl.
I already believed the SEC title format was BS, adding teams just makes it a bigger pile of crap

Cause we'd give y'all a tougher road to the SECCG (if I had to guess).

Please explain.
Ole Miss and State have both had historically better basketball and baseball teams than most SEC schools.

and with the way the east plays out right now you could still lose that game and win the east 9 out of 10 times.
I'm all for auburn to the east.

well if they are going to change the current rule, then I'm fine with them doing this. Cross divisional games will basically be OOC level, except for tiebreaking.

i must have missed the part where expansion was fueled by basketball.
Posted on 1/11/12 at 9:44 am to Alahunter
Are there any SEC fans (not affiliated with aTm and Mizzou) that were in favor of expansion.
Posted on 1/11/12 at 9:45 am to piggidyphish
see i knew someone would come use that reasoning, but everyone mistakes the SEC East of now and the SEC east of past and well AU would have about the same success if you asked me

Link?
I want AU in the East. Frick Misery Tigers.
Maybe if we played AU every year we could figure out the jinx. :banghead
Playing AU is less daunting than LSU right now. Yeah, I know we still didn't beat you this year. Thanks Rainey.

The fair/not fair thing is just whining, when talking about playing certain teams. Bama didn't whine when they were playing Tennessee in the 90's and they were kicking some butt. Football is cyclical. Teams will be up and teams will be down. One of the things that is great about college ball, is the rivalries teams have developed over generations. Those shouldn't be lost. Think the Big 12 is better for having lost their rivalries?
