Love it or hate it, it's coming.
Given a 14 (or more) team league it's the only thing that makes sense.
All the other major conferences are also going to a 9 game schedule.
I am for it, we have enough cream puff tomato can games on the schedule already. We can live without Alabama vs. Georgia State or Florida vs. The Citadel, etc.
It will make it harder to go undefeated, but with the new 4 game playoff, going undefeated is no longer nearly as important as it once was.

Thing is, a lot of the other teams 9 game conference slate is pretty damn weak

I think at some point in the near future we need to DQ teams from playoff eligibility if they schedule rent a wins from conferences like the Sun Belt or FBS.
Fans would be a lot happier with less rent a win games. Having an undefeated season is great and all but I'd rather see a 12 game regular season featuring all BCS (or whatever we're calling it now) conference opponents. If a team isn't eligible to be in the new playoff then they shouldn't be on your schedule. But unless it's enforced somehow, it will never happen. Too much financial incentive to schedule rent a wins and avoid possible losses. Imagine if the NFL scheduled that way -- bringing in a few Arena league teams during the regular season for rent a wins.
