Don't merge for the Auburn part. That would probably kill our permanent rivalry with Alabama.
Why don't you just put Missouri in the East? It's not geographically sound, but rivalries matter a lot more than that. And it makes our division less threatening.
If they go to 16 by adding two from the East, Auburn would move back. Or, we could see Bama in the East if they add two more from the West. Unless they do the popular pod system. Posted via VolNation Mobile
