I believe any true and secure SEC fan (or LSU fan) would have to be absolutely in favor a 9 game SEC schedule. Not because the other leagues are doing it (we're not a "me-too" league). But because our fans deserve better games than a small annual handful of Cream Puff U games of the week. Plus, IMO, increased SEC exposure puts more pressure on the whole league to improve. That can only be a win/win for all of us.

No.

As it stands now, top SEC teams schedule good games outside of the conference. A 9 game SEC schedule will incentivize scheduling worse OOC teams. The less good teams the SEC plays OOC, the easier for idiots like Pat Forde to claim that the SEC is not the premier conference.

I believe that your incorrect in saying the argument is "absolute" and implying that anyone who disagrees is insecure.

There are a lot of good reasons to go to 9, and some reasons why it is a bad idea or could impact the league negatively.

Also, recognizing that the SEC is the toughest league in the country and wanting more flexibility with scheduling four ooc games doesn't mean anyone is scared. It happens pretty often in the sec that a team will play more top ten opponents in its own division, that most people will on their schedule.
