If the SEC expands to 14 or more teams will this mean the end of some rivalries?
For example. If the SEC were to add Missouri without adding a 9th conference game you would likely see Auburn shift to the Eastern Divivision. Would Alabama with 6 conference division games still be able to play both Tennessee and Auburn on an anual basis? I think this is unlikely as that would leave room for only 1 rotating spot for the other 5 eastern Teams.
Perhaps, Alabama instead would move East, play Tennessee as part of it's regular division Schedule, and have Auburn as its non rotating western division opponent.
Another solution would be to add the 9th conference game, which I believe would be desirable regarldess given the larger conference size.
Let me know your thoughts.
