I completely disagree on booting Mizzou and that they don't fit in. Just in case you're ONLY looking at football, UF is 5-6-0 against them since they came into the SEC and is 2-3-0 vs ATM.
Mizzou is a premier addition academically and strong in all sports whereas ATM is meh academically and meh in all sports.
If you want to talk about only two divisions (which won't happen IMO) then perhaps a quick glance at the map will show that we should split the two Alabama schools and keep everything else as is. Just add Texas and Oklahoma to the West and then turn the white line down between Bama and Auburn...

Now, if you want to rearrange the teams by adding some SOUTHEASTERN powerhouses like Clemson or Va Tech and then losing Mizzou, maybe I could agree with that.
I could give a fig about most other sports. And I'd drop TAMU also and let the TX school have the old SWC.
I don't understand your knock on TAMU academics US News has them at 26 and Mizzou at 58. TAMU has an excellent AG School and does some outstanding research especially "applied" . I also hear engineer is rated like #6
