Who's the opposition to it exactly?
Franklin, Richt, and Muschamps

"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."

I can definitely see how Florida would suffer, but we're about to have an SEC-ACC/Big 12 challenge that would put a tougher OOC game on everyone's schedule, so that would even it out.
Richt just sucks, pretty much

Rivals are overrated

An extra conference game makes it harder for coaches to keep their jobs, will screw some teams out of a home game every year, and will hurt playoff chances.
