The Big Ten stopped the 9 game schedule after 1984, long before Penn State joined.
And went back to it at some point, then bitched and moaned that another conference didn't do the same.  
What sense does that make?

Right, but I'm still curious as to whether you are expressly against 9 conf. games for the SEC, or don't care one way or the other.  Given your other statements about the perceptual perks of pastry games, I might infer that you would rather stick to 8 conference games.  But you haven't said that and I don't want to assume. 
I'm not for or against a 9-game conf schedule.  I just think it's stupid to expect an entity that is ultra-successful doing it one way to do it a different way.

I'm for a 9-game schedule for the Big - makes them more money and gives them more conference games to sort out a pecking order at the end of the season

as for the SEC or any other conference, I couldn't care less

if the B1G decided to go back to an 8-game sched, I really wouldn't care much a tall

Ummmm......



Montana wore 3 at ND and I know GT hasn't been great, but they're not mid-MAC status.  Johnson didn't wear 16 at any level I'm aware of..... FFS

Clearly it’s Peyton Manning. 

AI hates Tennessee, too.

Idk, Jim Plunkett won a Heisman....
Trevor Lawrence was pretty good.
Denard Robinson was...fast.

C’mon now, Gator.  Drop the bias.  Plunkett was a fine player, no doubt.  Not in Manning’s league, however.  Heisman, or not.

Plunkett had as many wins vs Florida as Manning, so there's that.  :57:

another reason I don't/haven't used AI for anything

Manning didn't like Osborne's Huskers, neither did Florida
