Here is an example of the pods based mostly on geography and somewhat on competitiveness (though D could get pretty rugged) …

Kentucky doesn’t have much of a historic/geographic rivalry with either Auburn or Alabama, unlike Tennessee or LSU(they played them like 40 or 50 years straight until the mid-late 2000s).
For rivalry perspective, Kentucky should be in same pod of at least 1 of Florida/Tennessee along with Vandy.
I also don’t think you can separate Vandy from Tennessee
