It would be a great step towards fixing Slive's abortion of an expansion. Playing once ever 13 years at East teams is stupid.

I think 9 is really dumb mainly because of the uneven amount of home vs away games teams would play

That's easily settled with one year all of the East teams have 5 home games. The next year all of the West teams get 5 home games.

Auburn scheduled a home/away series with Clemson years ago. They just so happen to be very good right now. So what? That's how it goes.

We just so happened to schedule Clemson because we are required to schedule at least one power 5 OOC team. Should that requirement go away if we go to a 9 game SEC schedule and I’ll be fine with it.

Ohh.....I dunno. We may have recently beaten the Buckeyes in the shoe. A top 10 team. That's a thing.

Ohio State is not that strong but don’t let me rain on your parade.

We may have a road game with a top 10 Okie State and a home game with a #6 TCU on the horizon as well as a home game with a salty #23 WVU and a salty Texas Tech awaiting us. But what do I know?

Sounds like you may not know much given all the speculation you’re tossing around.
A “salty” Texas Tech and West Virginia”- “oh noez”

Georgia?

Currently ranked in top ten. Keep up.

Oklahoma is over-rated trash every year. Always funny watching them get built up and sucked off by the espn nerds only to eventually shite the bed against some terrible team they should’ve beaten easily.

Is Jacksonville, Fl. really a neutral site being 1 hr. from Gainesville & 5 1/2 from Athens?

Every 13 years? Nice math you're using.

You DON'T grow the conference ~16-17% & NOT think how it'll impact scheduling!

Yes, it would give us a better chance to have 2 in the top 4



Playoffs are never going to put two SEC teams in barring a complete meltdown of other conferences. That's what killed the BCS.
