Lame. I'm proposing that the people of Tennessee and the Cro-Magnons of Alabama band together for this one sublime purpose: irritating everyone else. Why should we be constrained by a calendar? We are Tennessee and Alabama. We're above it. Or, at least, we are, and we need you people to act like you are too. For once.
We get Georgia early, with the ever-present possibility that they will still have some key players suspended.
We get Florida after having already played a key SEC matchup.
We get Vandy at the end of the season, which used to be so much fun. Not sure how that stacks up with Thanksgiving weekend, but that would be nice. EDIT: This is Thanksgiving weekend, which always makes for a cool game environment for me and my lady since we actually have time off, can make it to a ball game, and we always agree on this one since she went to Van-durr-bilt.
It looks really favorable to me. Am I nuts?

I know, I know... I'm a heretic... but I would like to see both divisional games go to rotation. It is profoundly unfair for UT and UF to get Bama and LSU while USCe gets Ark and UGA gets Aub (up and down more than the other two).
Ideally, they would add two more schools and go to 4 divisions. UT, Auburn, and Bama could be put into the same division. I could see it like this (using hypothetical teams):
UF, UK, UGA, USC
UT, Bama, Aub, Vandy
Ole Miss, MSU, LSU, TAM
TCU, Ok ST, Mizzou, Ark
Or just scramble it like the ACC did and forget about geographical continuity.
Nowhere close to looking like this yrs schedule. Completely different and not many similarities.
