Here are my thoughts on this issue as an LSU fan:
-I don't want to lose the Florida game every year. It's a great game, and it's been really helpful to LSU in the past.
-Everyone keeps bringing up that all these other conferences have canceled long term rivalry games, but doesn't anyone think that at least part of what makes the SEC great is that we've been able to preserve some of them?
-I don't like the idea of barely ever playing the other side of the conference, would 9 conference games be that bad? Yes the league is the toughest every year, but elite teams still emerge, and would still do after one extra conference game. (In fairness to the East teams, it could be worked out in such a way that the years they play 5 SEC roadies, they play their ACC rival at home.)
-Blah Blah, Bama runs the conference, butthurt, $180k, Mark Richt, Fulmer Cup, Little Debbies, ESPN hates LSU

We don't have these problems in the Big 12. 9 game conference schedule because everybody plays everybody, leaving no doubts who is champion.

Just go to the 6-1-2 model and get rid of an ooc game.

That wouldn't work either because then the Auburn fans would start crying about how it's not fair that LSU won the West because they got 5 home games with 4 on the road, while Auburn only got 4 home games.
