Alabama would be Auburn's permanent West Div. opponent, and UGA could take on Missouri as its permanent West Div. opponent. Of course, that does mess up the annual tilt between Alabama and UT. So, no matter which way they slice it, somebody's rivalry is gonna go by the wayside.
OoltewahDawg, like the way you laid this out. Probably at this point UT would not mind missing the annual game with UA. Geographically does make sense. After several years everything will find its place and most will be happy. (If they are winning) . . .
