I only really care about this if they take Bama with them.

I don't like facing Auburn's teams during their 12-0 type seasons, but I love their equally common 2-10 type seasons.

I don't think it happens because it messes up the balance of the Big 6. And those teams will remain the Big 6, IMO, until someone else wins an SEC championship regardless of how little people think Tennessee deserves to be included at this point. It's been about 55 years now I believe since one of those six were not crowned conference champions.

It would definitely make our lives easier however.

He can talk about moving to the east all he wants, but it will never happen.

Why does no one mention Bama-TN in this discussion? I always understood that reason for permanent cross division rival was so Bama TN played every year and Auburn GA played every year. And while most of don't think about it b/c Bama has won 10 (9? 11?) straight, TN for a long time was Bama's biggest true competition for the SEC title. Move Auburn to the east and obviously you're looking at adding Bama Auburn to the permanent game list. Takes up both of Bama's interdivisional games plus 6 from west.

All this said, don't think they move unless the SEC goes to 9 game conf schedule.

Each school gets 3 permanent rivals, then plays half the remaining 10 teams each year. Top 2 conf. records go to Atlanta. Done.
