Yeah, we will need the 9 game schedule to bolster getting more teams into the playoff. A one loss SEC team w/a 9 game schedule is a hell of a lot stronger to the voting folks than a one loss 8 game schedule team.

Total number of conference games in a 9-game conference schedule is not 14 x 9.
Each division plays a total of 21 games in that division (6+5+4+3+2+1) for a total of 42 games. That doesn't change.
Each of the cross-divisional games are played every year. That's a total of 7 more games. THAT doesn't change either.
Now you have a total of 49 games. Now add 7 more games and you have 56.
Add the current four non-conference games and you have 56 additional games in the inventory for a grand total of 112 games over the course of the season (113 if you include the SEC Title Game).
If you increase the number of conference games to 9, you have 63 total conference games. Add THREE non-conference games to each team and you add an additional 42 games.
This actually DECREASES the total inventory of games to 105 (106 if you include the SEC title game) resulting in a net LOSS of 7 games worth of inventory.
For every conference game you add, you lose 7 games of overall inventory.
