So if this were to occur, I think we'd see the SEC move to 4-team pods:
Alabama, Auburn, Tennessee, Vanderbilt
Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas
Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, South Carolina
LSU, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Texas A&M
None of the remaining power conferences (now the P4) make any moves. The Big 12 restocks with Cincinnati and UCF, the AAC restocks with UAB (or falls apart entirely), and CUSA stands pat. Boring realignment. Wasted opportunity.
This or drop the divisions and add another conference game.
3 permanent rivals + 6 rotating teams.
Alabama = Auburn, Tennessee, Mississippi State
Arkansas = LSU, Texas A&M, Texas
Auburn = Alabama, Georgia, Florida
Florida = Georgia, South Carolina, Auburn
Georgia = Florida, Auburn, South Carolina
Kentucky = South Carolina, Vanderbilt, Tennessee
LSU = Arkansas, Mississippi State, Ole Miss
Mississippi State = Ole Miss, LSU, Alabama
Missouri = Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Vanderbilt
Oklahoma = Missouri, Texas, Texas A&M
Ole Miss = Mississippi State, Missouri, LSU
South Carolina = Kentucky, Florida, Georgia
Tennessee = Vanderbilt, Alabama, Kentucky
Texas = Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Arkansas
Texas A&M = Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma
Vanderbilt = Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri
P.S. I don't see any of this happening ha
