Jus' sayin' how I really feel about it all Don - Thanks
Well Tee, we have a few rivalries here in the SEC, probably the most important is the Alabama/Auburn game. When the SEC decided to expand there was a lot of talk about moving Auburn into the SEC East instead of the SEC West which meant Alabama and Auburn would not automatically play each other every year. While the SEC said that they would to whatever it took to continue the yearly rivalry, they eventually decided to put Missouri in the SEC East (
) and leave Auburn in the SEC West. Unfortunately for Texas A&M, they are going into the SEC West which is going to give them a rough row to hoe every year. The SEC is widely considered to be the toughest football conference in the US and the SEC West is the toughest division. Going into the final few weeks of the football season this year the SEC West had the top 3 ranked teams in the country.
I would have personally preferred that the SEC would have expanded by adding teams that were actually in the SOUTHEAST. What about Florida State, Clemson, Georgia Tech? We don't even have any team from North Carolina. That said, welcome to Texas A&M and Missouri. Hang on and bless your hearts.
