re: Vote to keep 8 game schedule was 13-1

Bama can speak for themselves about making the SOS better by adding a conference game. All it would do for UGA (and UF, UK, USC) is eliminate the scheduling flexibility to add OOC BCS opponents other than in-state rivals. Alabama would still be able to have 2 cupcakes with a 9 game schedule, and other schools would want that as well.

UGA's OOC BCS and top 10 opponents since 2005:
2005 - Boise St, @GT
2006 - Colorado, GT
2007 - Oklahoma St, @GT
2008 - @Arizona St, GT
2009 - @Oklahoma St, Arizona St, @GT
2010 - @Colorado, GT
2011 - Boise St, @GT
2012 - GT (bad year)
2013 - @Clemson, @GT

With a 9 game conference schedule, UGA loses probably at least most of the non-GT games because the SEC schedule combined with 2 hard OOC games would be scheduling suicide.

I would say that we don't need 9 conference games; some schools just need to step their shite up with the OOC schedules.
