Says the little big man who doesn't face an OOC rival home and home each year in addition to offsite rivalry. Bama would crap their pants if they dared to have less than 7 home games a year.

I too think it would be far better all the way around to go to 9 games, but there are very real financial reasons UGA and UF at least oppose it. It could very well lead to 5 home games in some years or the cessation of two things that make CFB as wonderful as it is- games that are events and bitter rivalries. I have enjoyed the Cocktail Party for what it is, but if it came down to it, I would be able to live with a H and H series there rather than stop the UGA GaTech rivalry.

It saddened me when Texas and Texas AM refused to continue their rivalry.

Florida and UGA are perfect for a nine game schedule. Both would always have four home and four away SEc games, plus the WLOCP game. Everybody else would have unbalanced schedules.
And I wouldn't put Georgia Tech in the upper echelon of rivalry teams. Not bad, but not on FSU or typically Clemson levels.

I think it's inevitable that the SEC will go to nine games. I'd guess that Florida and Georgia eventually take their series on campus for the financial reasons you talked about. I don't know if yall would like it, but I'd hate to see the neutral site go.
