It ain't happenin' anytime soon.
Auburn wants it to happen though. This would impact the "every year" rivalries for quite a few teams. If the SEC ever goes to 9 game schedules, then I could see it happening.

Nevertheless, it appears to be a moot point right now. At the league level, such discussions simply aren’t happening.
“Is that an agenda item? No,” commissioner Greg Sankey said Wednesday
at the SEC’s spring meetings. “Do you talk about it in media press conferences? Regularly. There’s almost this cycle now. It’s two years that you can begin predicting what will happen May 1st. The national membership conversation, then at some point someone will talk about division alignment. I think the next question is about a nine-game schedule, none of which are on our agenda.”
That being said, just because it’s not on the agenda now, that doesn’t mean it won’t be soon. There was a time when the BCS looked like it was in our lives forever, but now we’re getting ready for Year 4 of the College Football Playoff.
