New SEC Alignment

Going East and WEst. You pretty much go back to the original SEC, sans LSU and Miss schools. I would think old school SEC fans would like that better

I definitely do, I can't speak for everyone though. I think some East teams are afraid of another particular team with an elephant mascot coming over. Welcome to our world. We have to play them every year.
 
On third thought:


Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas A&M

Tennessee, Vandy, Missouri, Kentucky

Auburn, Ole Miss, Miss St, Alabama

Florida, LSU, Georgia, South Carolina

Just put OU in the East and Texas in the West. OU can beat Texas in the SEC championship game and keep the tradition alive.
 
My bad for not snipping that.

It's all time.

Ok but all time means what today? all time means that we are supposed to take Texas and Tennessee and West Virginia and Georgia Tech and Nebraska at the same standard as to what that shows and ignore teams like Oregon, Stanford, Iowa and Wisconsin who arent historically good but over more recent times have had success.

Yep.

Sorry, Not. Sorry
 
Yep.

congrats on being good when my grandpa was a kid. sorry you are no longer that team? Players today want to play for the good teams of today not yesterday. some have stayed there some have not. some have moved up and recruiting and on field results show it.

Your grandpa was a kid in 2000?

How old are you 5?
 
Why have them?
Because alternate schemes only have you playing certain schools every seven or fourteen years.
Because you want to ensure games vs. certain teams every year.
 
Need some help from you old school sec hicks and hillbillies

what if the organizational scheme was:
Each team has two perm rivals they play each year, and rotate home and aways with all other teams in the conference.

I’ll start:
Texas: OU and TAMU
OU: TX and MIZZ
TAMU: TX and LSU
AUB: BAMA and UGA
UGA: AUB and FL

TEXAS: OU and TAMU
OU: TX and MIZZOU
TAMU: TEXAS and LSU
AUBURN: BAMA and UGA
UGA: AUBURN and FLORIDA
LSU: TAMU and OLE MISS
MIZZOU: OU and ARKANSAS
ARKANSAS: MIZZOU and KENTUCKY
OLE MISS: MISS ST and LSU
MISS ST: OLE MISS and BAMA
KENTUCKY: TENN and ARKANSAS
TENNESSEE: VANDY and KENTUCKY
VANDY: TENN and SCAR
BAMA: MISS ST and AUBURN
SCAR: FLORIDA and VANDY
FLORIDA: UGA and SCAR

this seems fair. The only potential change I might make is have MISS ST play TAMU and therefore LSU play BAMA.
 
I can't speak for anyone else but as a Tennessee fan, Alabama, Kentucky, and Vanderbilt will be required to stay on our schedule. Florida and Georgia are highly preferred as well although I could see a scenario where Tennessee losses them.
Had Tennessee with Alabama, Auburn, Vanderbilt, Florida, LSU, and Arkansas
Wasn't sure if UT/UK would be that big of a loss. Still play every three years

Bama would probably have to be Auburn and Tennessee even though that's not much of a rivalry anymore
