This season proves why we need to keep the SEC schedule at 8 games.

6 teams in the top 10 
This would be nearly mathematically impossible with a 9 game schedule. With the up coming playoffs, getting as many teams in the top 4 or top 8 is going to be critical to conference success. There's enough beating up on each other already and if it weren't for the Baylor upset, the SEC wouldnt be going to the NC this year.

Fine as long as we get rid of permanent opponents.

Crap I didn't want to bring up the perm. Cross-div. controversy. Thread derailed.

Think it proves the opposite, we need more conference games to balance the schedules out if we are going to keep permanents.
Kind of hard not to talk about it in a conference schedule discussion

At the cost of knocking teams out of the playoff? Schedules will never be fair and balanced, and 1 more game does little for that.

The smart move for playoff positioning from a conference standpoint is to eliminate cross-division games... personally, I'd rather just rebalance them. Alabama/Georgia, Auburn/Tennessee, LSU/Florida, Texas A&M/South Carolina. Too bad Kentucky and Missouri are so bad, otherwise we could balance the rest of the second-tier programs. Bad for playoff positioning, WONDERFUL for the regular season.

Why not just reduce the conference schedule to 6 games , schedule 2 more patsies, and claim the entire top ten? It's pretty hard to claim a conference championship in a 16 team conference (if that happens) when you only play 8 teams.

What a terrible reason to justify a shitty scheduling situation.

Playoff slots and national championships are a shitty reason to modify conference scheduling. Don't think so.
