Dye, who played at Georgia and coached at Auburn said that he thought Auburn and Missouri should change divisions, putting Auburn in the East and Missouri in the West.
Geographically, the move would make perfect sense, considering only College Station, Tex., and Fayetteville, Ark. are the only cities in the SEC that are further west than Columbia, Mo.
“We touch Florida, Georgia and Tennessee,” Dye said. “We need to be in the East, and Missouri needs to be in the West. If we played nine [conference] games, we could do that, because we could still play Alabama every year, and then we’d have our meeting with Tennessee and Florida and Georgia.
