How can people say we need 9 conference games to be fair when other conferences like the p12 and b12 are adding g5(SDU, SMU) teams for their 8th and 9th game.

ACC and SEC have long standing cross conference rivals

8 conference games is good

B12 / B1G / PAC have no long standing cross conference rivals

9 conference games is good

(heck, other 3 have pamper soft conferences they could go to 10)

Everyone should be rooting for 9 conference games, more good games to watch is better. Too many cupcake games in the current 4 OOC game format that SEC teams have abused for far too long. Too many schools scheduling 2 or even 3 rent-a-wins which just sucks as a fan. Get that down to 1 or 2.

The B12 is adding basically the best mid-majors really out there for the most part and there's a big difference in playing them vs. Wofford or UTEP.

Also I'd rather play a Vandy than Cinci, BYU, UCF or Houston.

I used to be opposed, but after 2020 and getting to play 10 conference games in a year, it made for a much more fun season, every game worth its salt.

Because the SEC will have close to half of the teams in the playoffs.

Plus, we won't have to watch (not that we ever did) Bama vs. SE Tennessee or LSU vs. NW Missouri State.

Fewer BS games will mean better weekends in the SEC...

Hearing Sankey talk this morning on JOX 9 games is all but a done deal.
Also, no divisions is a good as a done deal. The top two will meet in the seccg. He used the example of last year it would have been UT and UGA in Atlanta. I like the idea of the top two. It wasn’t good with one division with an undefeated champ and the other with four losses that actually finished 5th in the conference playing in Atlanta.
