I'll be disappointed if it's an 8-game schedule.

If most SEC teams were using the extra OOC game (compared to the other P5 conferences) to schedule noteworthy opponents rather than College of Charleston and The Citadel, I might think otherwise.

Agree 100%.

Yup but right now ESPN is in contraction/money-saving mode and doesn't seem to be willing to pay for it.  The SECSECSEC isn't going to go to a 9-game schedule without Disney paying up.

I expect the SEC to use it as a bargaining chip to either extract more money from Disney, or offer it on the open market to other buyers.  Either way they'll likely at least threaten the latter, to enable the former.

Apparently, there's a critical mass of SEC teams who will only vote to go to a 9-game schedule if they can play their three OOC games against The Citadel, College of Charleston, and Mercer.

I think I remember over the last decade hearing much prognosticating about how the expanded CFP would encourage teams to play tougher OOC schedules. Now, at least with the SEC, it appears that all of that was hogwash. Just another set of lies to sell the expanded playoff.

If they were going to an 8 game slate, they should have let UGA-OU keep their series, and with Texas also, call it an OOC game.

UGA thsi season has a very weak OOC slate as a result.

OU's in the same boat, only without a game to match UGA vs. Ga. Tech.
Arkansas State, SMU, Tulsa.

At least y'all have a 9 game conference slate, so you play 9 P5 level teams anyway.

If the SEC goes to 9 games, I'd favor dropping Tech from the schedule.

We've still got @Alabama on the schedule this year, and @Michigan next year.  But if the SEC schedule is 8 games in 2024 then we'll have to add someone at the last minute, and we all know what quality of team THAT is likely to end up being...
