You're smoking with TM7 if you think 5 of the big 6 are going to the east while LSU hangouts with the likes of Arky, Miss and Mizz...

Are you sure you don't want to trade Arky for Kentucky too?


I actually thought about switching UK, and leaving Vandy in the east. Vandy made more sense geographically though.

Again, don't forget about the SECCG.

This is an idiotic statement and you act like it levels the competitive balance.

Basically you are saying, I know LSU gets off easy in the regular season, but we would still have to win the SEC CG. So would the winner of your east division, but they would have to run through a gauntlet to even get there.

You guys are way too hung up on the regular season, and not focusing on what an awesome SECCG would be generated in this scenario.

Play your division - 3 SEC games
One permanent opponent from each division - 6 SEC games
Rotate 1 from each division - 9 SEC Games

You never go more than 3 yrs without playing every team in the SEC.

2 game divisional playoff championship. Winner plays a playoff, against final 8 champions from other conferences in the same format.

Typical SECr response. You tell them "make your own" and they just bitch about how dumb yours is

I'm not saying that at all, because that would be a slap in the face to the rest of the west. You have to believe Arky will compete toe-to-toe with LSU, because they have. And I believe that TAMU and Mizzou will be very competitive in the SEC. And OM and State both will improve.

You just switch Arky and UF from where they are now, then everything makes sense geographically and you don't have to split up the biggest SEC rivalry.

SEC Mason

Auburn

SEC Dixon

That's a great setup, but I have a question: would that be allowed under current NCAA rules?

Well considering we went 13-0 WITH both Alabama and Auburn in the division, I'd think people would realize we're not afraid to play either.

My divisions just reflect the current balance-of-power in the league.
