Butters and Pinkel disapprove.I think the divisions should go away actually. It should just be the top 2 teams in each conference.

Bama would never sign off on losing the Tennessee game. Never. And if they aren't signing off on it, it's not happening. But yes, a 9-game conference schedule would solve all the problems, including the idiotic 11-12 years it takes to get a return trip out of an opponent and the fact that 5-year seniors will still not play every SEC team in their career under the current schedule format.
THIS.
because it would screw up the Tennessee rivalry, it'll never be done.
UGA would still play Auburn every year, but their new permanent Western rival would be Missouri. Woof.It would screw Alabama, UT, UGA (perma Auburn), and LSU... not going to happen.

Edit: Case in point. Freshmen this year and next year will never play Arkansas unless we meet them in Atlanta. That's fundamentally wrong.
If they did make the change without going to 9 conference games, then the new annual match-ups will probably be Tenn vs Arkansas and UGA vs Missouri with the other games staying as is.
I personally have no issue with the change. I think it makes sense geographically, but I agree that it's probably not going to happen.
I think Arkansas winning the West would be fundamentally wrong.
I'd be good with that as well, but the way the divisions are now, where you have to have the best record overall is illogical when each division team plays different west opponents. Anything would be better than how it is now.Disagree, but the better plan is the team w/ the best Division record wins the Division. That way you won't have LSU b*tching that they have to play us every year, for example. If you go 6-0 in the Division you should win the Division....or even if you have the best Division record.
With the College Football Playoff system I think we should drop the most recent additions to the SEC: Mizzou, USC, A&M, Arky, and play a nine game conference schedule. Winner takes all. I expect the CFP to expand to six, maybe eight teams. With that happening, what's the point in a conference playoff?

I assume the players would hope to never roadtrip to M'ssippi or Trailerbammer, but maybe that's just me projecting.Years between road trips to SECW teams for UF:
MSU: 9 years (09-18)
Auburn: 13 years (11-24)
Ole Miss: 13 years (07-20)
TAMU: 10 years (12-22)
And we don't currently have return road trips to Arkansas or Bama scheduled in advance, which the future schedule goes forward to 2025.
Far to long and same for when the falcons and panthers were in the west. Would still be there in both if not for realignment and expansion.how long did it take to get the Braves out of the NL .
