9 Game SEC Schedule?

This article got me thinking about a nine game SEC schedule, I think it would be great for the league.

The Next Big Thing in scheduling: 9-game conference seasons | al.com

The SEC has shown no interest in a nine-game league schedule. Doing so would mean teams losing home-gate revenue every other year and presenting another hurdle to a difficult schedule.

thoughts?

The fewer out-of-conference games that are played, and especially the fewer meaningful out-of-conference games that are played, the harder it becomes to objectively weigh teams from different conferences against each other. Imagine if all the SEC and Big Ten did was schedule games in conference? How would you go about deciding who is #1 and #2? I say 8 is enough. That's 2/3 of the regular season.

I feel like what we're eventually moving towards is the "Super Conference;" where we would have 9 or 10 game conference schedules, every conference plays a championship game, and the champ game winners duke it out for the NC.
