Neither of which Bama wants to give up. I'd say this is probably one of the issues they are working out to get the votes they need to allow MU into the conference.

This makes sense. If the Tigers land in the West, football is tougher with both Alabama and LSU in their division. But basketball would be much more competitve. Alabama won the SEC West in bball last year but still did not make the tourney. If Mizzou lands in the East, I think they will competitive much faster, as Florida is only real powerhouse over there. (TN is done, and I put Georgia and SC on a similar level with Mizzou). Bball would be much tougher though with both Kentucky and Florida in the East.
