I don't understand why we wouldn't go to a 9 game conference schedule. It makes the most sense. Everyone else is doing it too.

1) $
2) uneven scheduling (diff # of home and away conference games every season if you play 9 instead of 8)

big 10 seems to be staying with 8 conference games. Who other than the PAC has gone to 9 conference games a year? Certainly not the ACC, Big "12", Big East, or midmajors
If anything I think the SEC taking on an extra conference game would be an unnecessary handicap when you could use that slot to play a good team out of conference and/or make money on a home gate

Money and one less cupcake game coaches can play. But for perception reasons, as well as conference cohesion, I think we have to go to 9. The media is going to berate us with every other major conference going to 9 while most SEC schools play 3 or 4 cupcakes a year.
