    Playing a 9 or 10 conference....

    Would be very foolish. We just seen a 3 a 4 and another 4 win SEC teams beat ranked opponents in bowl game. Play more than 8 there will only be 7 or 8 teams bowl eligible. Don't need it and this bowl season just proves it.

    Agree, OOC games only way to keep our bowl streak alive. SEC playing field is just another level league compared to most other leagues.

    Agreed. Just shows you how tough it is in the SEC.

    More SEC games is better for us fans, but is a terrible idea like you say. All it'll do is cost the SEC a bowl eligibility team or 2 a year, reduce our rankings, and risk us knocking ourselves out of playoff spots.

    Just look at recruiting rankings. We are 33 and 10th in conference. Auburn is lower but only has 12 signees at this point. Bottom line is our worst teams are better than most conferences upper middle tier teams.

    I will just throw in that there is no way Indiana should have been a Top 10 team without their starting QB. That true FR that played yesterday was the difference in the game. He made OM's defense look pretty dang good which they are not.

    Indiana was not the same team without that QB.
