9 conference games would work with 14 teams....6 division games plus 1 permanent cross, then you rotate the other 2 every year vs the other 6 teams........you play every team in 3 years, home and home with the entire conference in 6 years. UF's rotation could work like this:
Year 1
Ole Miss, @LSU, Auburn
Year 2
@Arkansas, LSU, @Miss st
Year 3
Alabama, @LSU, Texas A&M
And that's the entire conference in 3 years, the next 3 years we switch the venues and there's your home and home with every one in 6, just makes too much sense not to happen at some point.

The SEC needs a 9 game schedule, but because Alabama/Nick Saban has wanted it for years now the rest of the SEC (all 13 teams) vote that shite down every year.
Why?
Because most of the schools in the SEC struggle to win 6 games and become bowl eligible. The way it's set up now it you basically have to win 2 SEC games imagine having to win 3. Next year every team has to play a power 5 team but that can be rigged. Get ready to see a lot of Kansas, and Indiana

Going to a 9 game schedule would force ADs :cough: Foley :cough: to drop a cupcake game. Who here enjoys spending a ton of money on game day to watch Northern Directional College on your home field?

I'd rather just go back to a 12 team SEC
Agreed. I enjoy playing aTm and think it's cool we play then every year now as a renewed quasi-rival, but I preferred the old days. Sucks for the students who would want to go Athens, Knoxville, Columbia, etc., but can't now.

I do. The expansion obviously helped monetarily, as adding new teams always does, but it hurt the conference from an actual on-field perspective. We desperately need to go to a 9 conference game schedule and eliminate the EARLY season cupcakes.
FIFY

I miss the 3 cross divisional games per year. Under the current setup it is almost like we aren't in the same conference w/ any east team except Georgia since we only visit them once every 12 years. Of course as an Auburn fan I don't want to give up the DSOR, so the answer is to schedule 9 conference games. Like others have said:
9 conference games
1 big time OOC game (a home game when we play only 4 SEC home games, an away or neutral site game when we have 5 SEC home games)
2 cupcakes
9 conference games
1 big time OOC game (a home game when we play only 4 SEC home games, an away or neutral site game when we have 5 SEC home games)
2 cupcakes

They should. The power 5 should mandate a 12 team minimum, a conference championship game, a 9 game conference schedule, and two power five OOC opponents.

They should also make Notre Dame join a conference

Just think if they would of joined the B10(11) those years ago when it was on the table. B10 then has 12.
The SEC would of had 12
ACC you guessed it - 12
B12 - 12
PAC10 - pick up Utah (as they did) and one more worthy west coast team (leaving CU in the B12) - and they have 12.
Big East probably keeps P6 status.
6 champs - 2 at large.
And life would be good.
