not sure why 9 conference games is that big of a deal.... I know it would be harder for SEC teams then schools from other leagues, but i still like the idea assuming we stay at 14 teams or add more teams.....
Schedule 3 cup-cakes out of conference and play your conference schedule.....
The regular season hasn't been 12 games for all that long..... When i was growing up you played 11 games per year... 8 conference games and 3 out of conference..... Since everyone is playing 12 games now, i don't see why its a bad idea to make the extra/new game a conference game...
Currently, Tennessee usually plays one big name team out of conference every year.... Why not replace that game with a SEC West team????
I also think its inevitable that the SEC will be 16 teams before 2020..... 14 (7 teams per division is not a sustainable #, IMO)......I don't see how we can stay at 8 conference games with that many teams..... You would rarely play the teams in the other division, and i don't like that.... One of the things that makes the SEC so great are the passionate regional rivalries that have been created.... I would hate to see that go away.....
In closing, the SEC has been the trend-setter in recent history in college football..... If we go to 9 conference games, the other leagues will eventually switch to 9 conference games....

not sure what clay travis wrote..... But here is my format for a 16 team league with 9 conference games....
- Four 4-team divisions - play 3 games against your remaining division opponents - 1 permanent cross-division rival game from the other 3 divisions (3 total games) - Play one rotating game in each other division per year (that way you would play the other 9 teams in the league that you don't play annually 2 out of every 6 years)......
If i did not write this clear enough, please let me know and i can elaborate.....
