SEC North

Missouri/West Virginia/Virginia Tech, Arkansas, Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Tennessee, South Carolina, Ole Miss.

SEC South

Texas A&M, LSU, Alabama, Auburn, Mississippi St, Georgia, Florida.

Fixed. Before you holler, no team remains relevant year after year...so no division is easier/harder than the other.

You are the only person in the world who thinks these 2 divisions would be equal. Check out the national championships owned by each division.

If the rivalry between bama and au gets any more heated, someone will probably be killed, sadly. Some idiot will push someone down the stairs or throw something out of a window and kill someone. Rivalries are fun but what is going on in Alabama is a feud. It's a family fight and sometimes emotions cause people to do things they normally would never imagine doing. If a group of young men , au students,had caught their trees being posioned in the act they would had beaten Harvey to death or close. On the same note, if some bama fans would catch some au punk stealing the bear's body out of his grave they would kill him. See what I mean. It's too personal and I feel it needs go be turned down a notch. Au and bama playing every other year for a while would do that. It's a shame that one of the greatest, if not the greatest, rivalries in college football has turned into something potentially dangerous but it has. It will only take the slightest spark to ignite a battle royal gang fight involving hundreds of drunk fans this year during the iron bowl. Let someone wear a shirt making fun of au's trees and there will probably be a fight.

Perhaps they should move the Iron Bowl to a stadium in England, where the fans are actually caged.

WOW! No doubt that currently this would be lopsided.

Some teams manage to do a pretty good job of remaining irrelevant year after year, which is why these divisions will always be lopsided.

From today’s Dallas Morning News:

Gene Stallings isn't sure if Missouri will bolt the Big 12 for the SEC, but he knows what he would do if he was in their shoes.
"If I were them, I would [leave]," Stallings said

I think after arky coming from behind to beat tamu Saturday will help install a rivalry between the two. Tamu and arky do have history. The sec east is getting off easy with mizzo compared to tamu. Tamu is consistantly stronger than mizzu. All things are cyclic though and the east will eventually rise again. I wish we could swap auburn out to the east though. I don't think the east wants them either though.

I wouldn't mind Mizzoo as the 14 team. I also think the Iron Bowl needs to be on a rotating basis. The rivalry needs to be brought to some form of civility. Its gotten out of hand and has become toxic and a train wreck for the rest of the world to watch and laugh.

Auburn, being in the geographic location its in needs to be moved to the east. It would actually strengthen that division. I think Florida and Tennessee will get stronger and putting Auburn over there would give them a legit third team that could compete with west teams.

In general, I agree.

But I hate playing three former SWC/Big8 teams instead of our traditional SEC rivals. I don't like overloading the West with newbies. Let the East take on another new team.
