There is significance to that 9th game/half the conference have an additional loss, just look at the B12 this year. Also, 5 conference road games EOY, too.

A&M is #9 in the Sagarin computer rankings. If they had played eight conference games instead of nine maybe they wouldn't have a loss to a team like Oklahoma State or Kansas State. They could have found an easier non-conference game than Arkansas. Their record would then be 8-3 and A&M fans would probably be a lot happier.

SEC athletic directors may want to consider the effect of going to nine conference games. That would mean half the conference would lose one more game. A few more teams might not qualify for bowl games. More fans would be unhappy. I think schools would sell more tickets and receive more donations by playing an extra cupcake instead of risking a loss playing an extra conference game.

Confidence from the AD. I wonder who the new coach will be.

I hope he's hitting the JUCO recruiting trail for some defensive players. The Wrecking Crew has become the Wretched Crew.

I don't think Sherman is the man if A&M is going to compete in the SEC.
