The SEC won't go for that plan because it disrupts too many rivalries


Must Rivalries
Iron Bowl
Third Saturday in October
*The SEC will never force Alabama to decide whether it wants to discontinue its annual game with Auburn or Tennessee because it can only keep 1. If anything the Alabama and Mississippi schools would be placed in the same pod together. Auburn gets Georgia as its protected cross-pod game. While Alabama gets Tennessee as its protected cross-pod game. While the Mississippi schools can continue their rivalries with Vandy and Kentucky.

Important Rivalries
LSU-Arkansas
LSU-TAMU

The Big Ten may be willing take Kansas. However, it would balk at taking Kansas State since Kansas State is viewed no differently than Iowa State. You may have a difficult time convincing the Pac-12 schools to add 2 religious affiliated schools (Baylor and TCU). The Pac-12 would prefer the pod included Oklahoma and Oklahoma State.
