08:14 AM ET 10.26 | Mizzou will soon breathe new life into conference realignment talk. [Brady Deaton] suggested he hoped to reveal Mizzou's future conference address in "days or possibly a week or two." Deaton -- in both an interview on Columbia radio station KFRU-AM and in conversations with newspaper reporters in the station lobby before and after the broadcast -- stated Missouri's view of whether to pursue admission to the Southeastern Conference to remain in the Big 12 Conference have coalesced around a probable choice. "We've reached firmness in where we are headed," Deaton said. ... Deaton did not reveal that probable choice, but his comments revealed continuing and long-standing concern over the viability of the Big 12 Conference.

This is not a well kept secret.

I guess since the SEC doesn't have a number in their name, to keep the same level of 'screwed-up-edness" as the others (with the exception of the 12-Packers), the SEC will have to put Missouri into the East - just to keep up with the unspoken-but-obvously required conference-weirdness rules.

There was a part of me that wanted Mizzou in the west with the possibility they would become UTK's permanent SECw opponent. Bama year in and out is getting ugly for the Orange.

Logic doesn't play as big a role as we might think. I had also heard that Auburn would move to the East. All a guessing game at this point.

I think you will see Missouri and Arkansas become yearly opponents since they are border states. Even though A&M and Mizzou are coming from the Big 12, they are not really traditional rivals. Arkansas and Mizzou would create more interest I think.
