[TD="bgcolor: #CCCCCC"]Alabama Crimson Tide
Record: 9-0 (6-0)
What if all the SEC teams moved to the suburbs, or a surrounding area, like the Atlanta Braves? Alabama could play in Moundville, defeated opponents stacked neatly and filed away in large hills. Rumor is that the spirit of Les Miles rises at midnight and gnaws the grass of his particular mound, which is getting pretty tall at this point.[/TD]

[TD="bgcolor: #CCCCCC"]Missouri Tigers
Record: 8-1 (4-1)
I haven't been to Columbia often enough to know if it has suburbs, but the Tigers could always play somewhere around St. Louis, which would at least move them a little closer to the other teams in the East.[/TD]

[TD="bgcolor: #CCCCCC"]South Carolina Gamecocks
Record: 7-2 (5-2)
Spurrier actually seems grouchy enough (and golf-y enough) to fit in at Hilton Head, though it is a bit of a hike. One could find Jadaveon Clowney washed up on the beach after being double-teamed by a killer whale and Nemo.[/TD]

[TD="bgcolor: #CCCCCC"]Texas A&M Aggies
Record: 8-1 (4-2)
I would suggest Bryan, but Johnny Manziel scrambles through there regularly as he eludes opposing defense. Maybe Brenham, the home of Blue Bell Ice Cream, would work for the Aggies' soft-serve defense.[/TD]

[TD="bgcolor: #CCCCCC"]Georgia Bulldogs
Record: 6-3 (3-3)
Reversing the trend, the Bulldogs could move to Turner Field. Don't they share a history with the Braves anyway? Isn't the 1995 World Series just a baseball version of the magic Herschel season, followed by a seemingly endless streak of promising-looking, talent-squandering shortfalls?[/TD]

[TD="bgcolor: #CCCCCC"]Tennessee Volunteers
Record: 4-6 (1-5)
Oddly, the little Smoky Mountain hamlet of Lake City, Tenn., officially changed its name to "Rocky Top" last week., clearly a preliminary move to stealing the Vols and putting them in a 6,500-seat high school stadium.
