Personally, I'm all for it. Woken suggests only having 2 permanent rivals, but I think we could easily do 3 or 4 and still maintain a very high rotation rate. We wouldn't even have to add a 9th game for the time being.

Either way, it's something worth discussing and it would make the Championship Game more compelling to have the two highest rated teams as opposed to potentially weaker division winners.

There are flaws, especially if you have more than two permanent rivals. It would be easy for some school to try to get Kentucky, Vanderbilt, and any other lower tier program assigned as their annual rival. It gives them a leg up on everyone else. And therein lies the rub. Tennessee could legitimately claim both.

And it still requires a rules change.

Younger fans would be upset if we didn't play Florida every year. Older fans if we didn't play Bama.

But I'm in favor of divisionless anyway.
