Looks like the SEC might be gearing up for a 9-game conference schedule soon.

If Clemson and FSU join the SEC, there are only 2 ACC/SEC annual football matchups left, Georgia/GT and Louisville/Kentucky. They can play as a one off game and the SEC could go to 9 games. I think the hangup for the SEC is that could mean fewer home games for some schools. Right now, many SEC schools play 7 home games. If you go to a 9 game conference schedule, some years they probably only have 6 home games.
