LeonhartFour 07/31/21 9:25:26 PM #394:	Dr_Football posted... Leon do you have an opinion (or care whatsoever) on how the *New and Improved* SEC does their divisions or pods? I'd be fine with realigning the divisions by geography, which would basically just move Alabama and Auburn to the East and put OU and Texas in the West in their place. I also do enjoy the potential hilarity of them trying to maintain the current East/West breakdown and throwing OU or Texas in the East for no rhyme or reason. I'd be cool with an annual UT/UT game! Honestly, if they moved Auburn and Alabama over, they could get rid of the permanent cross-divisional game (since Tennessee/Alabama and Georgia/Auburn would play every year now as part of East divisional play, and those are the only two that actually matter). That would mean getting to play the other teams in the West more regularly. That's the one thing I kinda hate about the way it is now (in addition to Tennessee being the only East team that has to play Alabama every year, which is a huge disadvantage). We only play all the other West teams once every 6 years (and that would become every 7 years if they don't change anything). Of course, they'd have to expand conference play to 9 games instead of the current 8 to avoid that, too, which means the big programs probably schedule more cupcakes out of conference to balance things out. Naturally, it becomes harder to play everyone the bigger your conference gets, but I like getting to play the other West teams more often. I am low-key kinda nervous about these rumors about there eventually being this coalition of 40-60ish high profile college programs and everyone else getting kicked to the curb because Tennessee has barely been relevant in the last decade (we haven't even played in the SEC Championship game since 2008) and I'd be worried we'd get left out. I just hope Tennessee's history (we're still the 12th winningest program ever and have the third most bowl appearances ever despite the decade plus of mediocre or bad football) would allow us to get included, even if it means we'd be a punching bag at first (unless Heupel turns out to be the real deal, fingers crossed!). --- http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/080/145/638.png https://imgur.com/WqDcNNq <cite>LeonhartFour posted [p:956655621] in SaveEstell...
