"I'm not for a nine-game schedule. I don't think it's best for our league," Florida's Will Muschamp said. "It's too challenging with the in-state rivalry we already play. You add a ninth game (in the SEC), it's too difficult."
Vanderbilt's James Franklin described himself as a "huge believer" in keeping it at eight games. His reasoning is that it allows more flexibility for programs like his that are trying to rebuild, as well as the powerhouses trying to build up their playoff resume'.
Georgia's Richt has also leaned towards eight games, but on Thursday he deferred to Slive.
"That's for our commissioner to decide.," Richt said "We have our meetings coming up. I mean just hearing him say that means we're gonna discuss that."

Florida. They have a neutral site conference game, and a permanent home and home OOC game.
9 conference games would mean that every other year:
4 SEC home games
4 SEC road games
1 neutral site game against Georgia
@ Florida State
So they would start getting 6 home games every other season. They do not want this.
