re: Pac 12 coaches saying the SEC should play 9 games...

USC, Stanford, and Oregon are all playing 9 conference games along with big OOC games. USC is continuing their rivalry with Notre Dame in the future as well. I just don't understand why we can't do the same. It's the best way to keep rivalries and travel to other SEC schools. Especially with the new College Football Playoff in place that won't hurt SEC teams for having an extra loss potentially. There will always be at least one SEC team in the playoff and I think being the best conference is not an excuse to only play 8 conference games.
