What I don't quite understand, when the 9 game slate is given as a reason, is what difference it makes.

It's a reason because the 9 games are out of each team's control. They can be setup as easy or as hard as the conference makes it.

And that's called risk. And where there is risk, there are consequences.
Ohio State is backing out of games. Oregon. The 9 game schedule is hurting football because teams want to face the bottom half of the conference equally as much as they want to face the top half (that's what 9 games gets you. more of the same. not better)
