<p>But only one matters, right?</p>
<p>Big 12 has 10, Big 10 has 12 (soon 14). It’s the new math. </p>
<p>What I advocate the SEC doing is moving Alabama and Auburn to the East and Kentucky and Mizzou to the West. Then, you don’t need the rivalry games (Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry and Third Saturday in October are now divisional games). You lose Kentucky-Tennessee, but is that a big rivalry anyway? The only real loss is Alabama-LSU It makes geographic sense as well. The only problem (and why this would never happen) is how stacked the SEC East would be. Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina, not to mention Tennessee and Vanderbilt all in the same division?? Meanwhile, LSU would have free reign of the SEC West most years (except when TAMU, Mizzou, Ole Miss, or Arkansas have fluke good years). But, it would allow the SEC to move to a 6-0-2 format and keep the rivalries. Should the divisions remain intact, I am in favor of the current 6-1-1 format.</p>

No, no Big Ten team matters. When is the last time a B1G team won a title in basketball or football? 2000.</p>
<p>^ yes, but to rjk, only one team matters :)</p>
