Title: A way to keep all rivalries
Post by: genemcever on October 06, 2011, 05:33:03 EDT
We don't have to be wedded to current East/West thinking.  If we split divisions another way, I'd be all for adding Missouri because it would make the Third Saturday a division game.  The following setup preserves all significant rivalries:


In one division:

Missouri
Arkansas
Kentucky
Vanderbilt
Tennessee
South Carolina
Alabama

The other:

Florida
Georgia
Auburn
LSU
Ole Miss
Miss. St.
A&M

1 permanent rival each:
Alabama v. Auburn
Missouri v. A&M
Ole Miss v. Vandy
Miss. St. v. Kentucky
Arkansas v. LSU
South Carolina v. Georgia or Florida
Tennessee v. Georgia or Florida

I like that split.  On the rivalries, I think Florida is a bigger rival, but Georgia would be an easier game.  So I could go either way on that.

If Florida is the rival, use the new split as an excuse to move the game to November.   :thumbup:  I hate playing them early in the year.

I think the pups are more a natural rival to USCe.  But, yeah, lets play the crocs later i the season :dude:
