Farewell to SEC divisions? Conference may be ready to move on, but here's a plea to keep them

It seemed perfect, really.

When Oklahoma and Texas join the SEC in a few years, the conference could realign into two eight-team divisions that would rebalance the power and prioritize rivalries while still ensuring teams play more frequently than some do now.

Ah, but nothing is ever so simple.

The SEC, according to a report from Sports Illustrated, is strongly considering dumping divisions in favor of a no-division format that would feature either one or three recurring opponents. The remainder of the conference games would be with rotating opponents.
