Wrong. Alabama is the only school in favor of 9 games to help the problem with continuing long standing rivalries and to play more SEC teams. The rest of the league are bitches

I think it would be great honestly. Except...

We are stuck with Clemson (pull for South Carolina).

And we really also need to play a North Carolina team every year.

So that leaves one game free, which I guess would be filled with an FBS school?

Kentucky is in the same boat, and Florida and Georgia (except none need to play a team in another state for recruiting exposure).

Maybe we really don't need to play a NC school. Dunno. But my theory is it helps, and we need to have a presence there, even if Georgia is the most important state to us (after SC).

Clemson really makes out with their schedule in that regard. Georgia, Florida, and NC opponents every year guaranteed.

Part of me wishes we could schedule teams from the West Coast or something, but if you start out saying Clemson is one OOC opponent, and you really want to play a NC team, that only leaves two games free.
