It needs to happen. I'm sick of these non conference schedules. College Football needs to change before it goes over the edge.

Some folks spread rumors worse than a sewing circle
NCAA does not control CFB
Sounds like some unequal P5 that plays no annual cross conference rivals (B1G, B12, or PAC) trying to dictate policy among those who do (ACC and SEC).

I'm surprised how few college football fans really exist.
The home only games (cupcakes as most call it) are when teams build depth.
Home only games are often the first opportunity for fans to see the prior recruiting class in action (If you follow recruits/recruiting for 2 years
... this is kind of a big deal).
Don't get me wrong. I love marquee matchups. But I love the home only games, too. I love high school football. Seeing kids compete and get better is a big deal to me and to a league where you rotate players every 3-4 years. It doesn't get old because the classes are rotating through.
If all you care about are the Notre Dame vs USC games or Michigan vs Ohio State games, are you a true college football fan? Or a product of growing up with ESPN telling you what is important every week?

in fact, I could EASILY see the committee announcing that they will give preference to conference champs that have at least 9 conference games
IF that actually happens, the SEC (or rather, individual schools) can circumvent that by scheduling 2 P5 OOC games

And here comes to idiots to argue against seeing more SEC football. The incompetent moron that was Mike Slive was an actual representative of the sec fanbase.

Every conference should be 9 conference games, stupid that it's not.

It's a terrible proposal if true. They should just require 9 or 10 P5 games a year.

Out of the P5 Conferences,The PAC12,BIG12 & B1G10 already play 9 conference games,with at least theB1G10 putting a ban on playing DIV3 teams.
THe ACC shot down playing 9 conference games because of their 4 teams that play SEC Rivals each season and their contract with ND.The SEC used this SEC/ACC rival game to also state the reason for not going to 9,while like the ACC ,asking their teams that didn't play these rival games to schedule at least one P5 OOC opponent each year.
The biggest hold up for the 9th conference game is the need for the 7th home game ,to fund the non money making sports.
The biggest push isn't coming from the NCAA, it's coming from ESPN because 3rd tier games on Conference network channels just don't get the viewers.

The SEC Champ would still be in good shape for playoffs
It would hurt a second team from SEC trying to get in
This reeks of Big 10, PAC 12 and Big 12 trying to put more losses within conference to SEC teams to help them.
Similar to the extra paid assistant in baseball, why would Big 10 ever support that with the built in advantage southern teams have in baseball.
The SEC AD's and President's need to start voting against supporting any college hockey issues to even this out.

1. The NCAA has no authority to do this, as the College Football Association kicked them out in the 80's.
2. The NCAA is not going to make the two conferences responsible for the last four national champions and 12 of the last 13 national champions ineligible. If the ACC and SEC both tell the NCAA to frick off, they'll back off.
Going even further: The two conferences that would be affected by this are responsible for:
12 of the last 13 Football National Champions
12 of the last 20 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament Champions
6 of the last 11 College World Series Champions

The NCAA shouldn’t mandate such a thing, if anything they should mandate a max 8 conference games and two out of conference P5 games.

The more conference games they force, the fewer ticket sales and televised games available for revenue
I may be missing something in the point you are trying to make. But, your statement seems counterintuitive.
I'm not sure how forcing another Conf Game vs a team with a pulse in place of an FCS or non-P5 would hurt tkt sales or television revenue
I'd still rather watch UA vs Vandy than UA vs MTSU (even if they may be the 3rd best team in Tenn behind Vandy and Memphis)

how about this, the B1G, Pac 12 & Big 12 certainly have influence and clout with the committee
the idea that the selection committee may announce that conference championships that play 9 conference games and schedule at least 1 P5 OOC will get stronger consideration for a playoff spot is not at all outlandish, do you disagree with that?
plus, this is not necessarily about just getting the SEC Champ in, it has as much to do with trying to get 2 teams in

I don't need marquee games every week. I'm just sick of playing the likes of San Jose State three times a year and having to hear Saban bitch because the stadium was empty in 90 degree weather. The fans have spoken, play better games.
