What we are very tired of is all of the whining y'all do about it every day multiple times a day especially when no one heard you say much of anything before the season started when Florida was perceived as a relatively easy game.

Florida didn't lose the division title for LSU last year; however, the Florida game did lose the divisional title game for TAM last year.

By playing all the permanent cross-division games, everybody gets their desired matchup each year, and by not counting those games for division title purposes, any disparity is prevented.

Tell me what an SEC fan would have against this suggested rule.

The ironic thing about this subject is that I get even less response from the LSU posters on the Tiger Rant.

At least the Bama fans understand what I am talking about. the LSU posters are totally clueless and can't even give me a response at all.

We can talk about whether I am a Buckeye fan or Tiger fan later.

If it remains that, for example, each west team plays two east teams (one perma-cross-division, one rotating), it seems like it would be very odd if a game A&M plays against Florida counts toward our conference record but the game LSU plays against them doesn't count. If you just say count only the division games, you may as well not even play the rotating opponent.

I believe that it either needs to stay the same or teams have to get rid of their permanent cross division opponents; the second won't happen, so nothing will change imo.
