Bama can relax with the current arrangement for right now. I think we need to see whether or not Mizzou in the East is a determent to the schools' integration into the SEC or if they need the western rival to gin up the necessary fan interest.

I've previously mentioned that there are only two permanent cross division rivals that matter, UT/Bama and UGA/Auburn. There is nothing stopping the other 10 schools to schedule however they desire while leaving these two games intact.

Bama can relax because this year they are looking at playing the easiest schedule in the SEC. But LSU and Florida are tired of having to play each other every year just so Alabama can play Tennessee every year.

I agree. But nothing says that has to remain the two schools rival. Fo instance, let UF play A&M and LSU could play Mizzou. Next year it would be different. All I'm suggesting is that the other ten teams figure it out.

THIS.

At the very least, lets swap it every few years. We played Arkansas yearly, now we are about to play A&M. In say 5 years lets swap it to LSU. Then maybe Miss State
