SEC Could Move to 9 Conference Games

That's my preference too...IF they set the pods properly. IMO they should look something like this:
UF, UGA, USC, UK
UT, Vandy, Bama, Aub
Ole Miss, Miss St, LSU, Ark/Missou
Texas, TAMU, Okla, Ark/Missou
You might put Ark and Missou w Tex and TAMU and slide Okla in with LSU and the Miss schools. You are going to lose some rivalries in the pod system....in my scenario Aub-UGA is the glaring issue.
