I dont think that is a shining endorsement of the conference

The pendulum is swinging the other way and it will become a problem

Should we do it

Yes, it would give us a better chance to have 2 in the top 4

I think 9 is really dumb mainly because of the uneven amount of home vs away games teams would play. That can make a huge difference

What if every team had their 9th game in ATL (neutral site)?

Would kill the SEC ACC rivalries too with teams just trying to get bowl eligible.

I want a 9 game schedule because it is not fun paying for season tickets and have 3 horrible games in the package.

We do it every year. Not that big of a deal.

Murders row? Please. It can be argued the SEC East is one of the worst divisions in CFB.

The west is much much better but still has some really bad bottom teams.

Coaching is down across the board. It is not nearly as dominate a league as it was 5-7 years ago.

Besides the 3 awful games, it would be nice to have UGA and UF on the schedule more than once a decade. Just looking at it from a fan's perspective and not how to win 11 games a year perspective.

Is Atlanta really a neutral site game for UGA?

It's still the most physically taxing league out there. Execution may be shite but it's not for lack of talent.

Auburn plays Clemson, Georgia and Bama this year plus visit ATM and real Death Valley on the road. That’s more than enough for me.
Who does Oklahoma have on their schedule?

It's not more physically taxing than anywhere else.

You could make the argument, doesn't mean it's a good one.

Is time to face the fact that there is more pairty in CFB than ever.

Auburn scheduled a home/away series with Clemson years ago. They just so happen to be very good right now. So what? That's how it goes.

Bama is their in-state rival they play every year. Just like Okie State plays us. It's a known quantity, every year, either way. So what? Cry me a river.

A visit to ATM? Oh noez! Not that!

Death Valley to play an offensively incompetent team that doesn't understand the forward pass and/or the QB position? Oh noez! Not that! (I wish we could play a team like that every year. YES PLEASE!)

Who do we have on the schedule?

Ohh.....I dunno. We may have recently beaten the Buckeyes in the shoe. A top 10 team. That's a thing.

We may have a road game with a top 10 Okie State and a home game with a #6 TCU on the horizon as well as a home game with a salty #23 WVU and a salty Texas Tech awaiting us. But what do I know?

Georgia?

This year it would mean that four additional teams in each division would take an extra arse whipping, unless Alabama and Georgia played each other, which they likely wouldn't have since they just played two years ago.
