SEC Shorts - East and West divisions learn they're fired

It's going to be a massive change for SEC fans to get used to. After 33 years, the conference is finally getting rid of the East/West division system. With Texas and Oklahoma joining the SEC, the only way forward is to have all teams compete as one conference. Now the hard part is telling the divisions they've been fired.

Seriously.. ifykyk - I can't believe they brought this up first thing. Cracked me up. Lucky we got to go play between the hedges - but it'd be cool to play UGA at home, you know like just once. Now we probably won't play them for another 12 years...

[@philliplenz2089]

As an Aggie, I can assure you we like traditions. The 12th man, the war hymnal, midnight yell, overpaying coaches with 1 good year from the former coaches recruits, going 8-4 (usually). Why would we want to break traditions? Speaking of, we finally get the second best team in the second worse conference again. I'd lose to UGA every year as long as we beat that team from Austin.

Yeah, but I foresee problems with staying at 8 conference games. I predict some goofy issue, like for who is the #2 team, such as the next two teams have the same w-l, but each lost to a conference opponent that the other beat. And the w-l records (conference and total) of those other teams are the same. Problem. Now the same can happen with a 9 game schedule, but there is one more game to make it less likely.
