Ever since Texas and Oklahoma were admitted into the SEC, analysts and experts presented various forms of division realignment. The first option included keeping the “East” and “West” divisions but adding a new team to each division. This more than likely would’ve slid Alabama and Auburn over to the Eastern division and placed Oklahoma and Texas in the Western division. The second scenario was a four team pod system. This scenario would have resulted in the 16 SEC teams being divided evenly into four groups. For example, if Georgia’s group consisted of Florida, South Carolina, and Tennessee, then Georgia would play those three teams on a yearly basis and would rotate playing various teams from other pods to fill the remaining void on their schedule.
