3 teams you play every year isn't nearly enuff IMO
but no one has been asking me the past couple decades

that's how we got to this shit show

The overarching problem is that the conferences have gotten too big, and the trend is obviously for them to get still bigger.
The particular problem here is that the more conference teams you play every year, the less often you play the others.  As it is, some of the 14 SEC teams go for a decade or more without playing each other.  They are probably doing something like the 6-6-3 you mentioned, only as a 5-5-3.  Those "3" might as well not be in the same conference as the teams that they almost never play.
How does the B1G do it?  14 teams means 6 divisional opponents. How many of the 7 teams in the other division does Nebraska play each year, and what is the rotation schedule?

I don't keep up on it because they change the divisions and they change scheduling practices every few seasons to try to fix issues

with the 9 game schedule we play the other 6 in our division (west) and then 3 from the other division

currently thinking about going to an 8 game schedule, so if might change again

yes, conferences are too big to be able to play all members each season

two divisions of 8 each means playing 7 games round robin for your division

why not play 4 more games against other division playing every team once in two years

That would certainly be a great conference schedule.  But it would only leave room for one OOC game.

I like the 3-6-(6) schedule.  You still go through all the teams at least twice in four years, and you also get three OOC games.
Shifting gears, I heard on OU-homer sports radio today that Jimbo Fisher has said that he wants Texas-Texas A&M as an annual game.
Related to that, the 1-7 scheduling plan would seem leave Texas in a bit of a quandary as to its sole permanent rival.

which is more important playing conference games with regularity or playing occ games that really dont mean anything

The bottom teams in a conference will perhaps give you a different answer than the big dogs would.

so youre looking out for the little guys

very commendable

Not particularly.
But I like to see OU play great non-conference, intersectional opponents like TOSU, Notre Dame, Michigan, USC, Nebraska (hoping that Nebraska will soon be good again), etc.  As well as many other games that do not involve OU.

I get your point.

But, in any event, the SEC is not going to adopt an 11-game conference schedule.  Nor is any other conference.

hoping Nebraska is good enough this september!
