But adding more games to the conference will just make the conference weaker.
No, it will make the records slightly worse. It won't make the conference weaker. Given that the only conference other than the SEC that matters will be playing 9 games, it really has little to no negative impact on the SEC.
The only negative impact would be on borderline bowl teams missing bad bowls.

Isn't the SEC going to expand again?
You CAN'T stay at 8 games (unless you shrink conferences; but nobody seems to be for MORE conferences).

Well you just don't understand how polls and rankings work. You are literally just adding more losses to the conference and that's going to lower everyone's rank.
Because instead of the top team being able to cite a #10 10-2 team it beat in conference, that teams gonna be a #15 9-3 team. And on down the list.
Sure it won't change the actual strength of the teams, but the records and how everything is seen towards the teams will be weaker. Just no way around that.
There is no benefit to the conference unless it's a money deal. And I don't give a shite about the money.
