Why the Big Ten provides an answer to SEC's scheduling question

The SEC's scheduling debate will renew when the conference's spring meetings begin later this month.

It's that age-old question of whether to stick with eight conference games or bump up to nine.

On today's episode, hosts Blake Toppmeyer and John Adams debate the merit of adding a ninth conference game versus sticking with the status quo. Retaining the eight-game format would sacrifice the annual nature of some secondary rivalries, like Auburn-Georgia and Alabama-Tennessee.

Is that worth it? Well, that depends.

Toppmeyer and Adams are intrigued by the idea of an SEC-Big Ten football challenge -- so intrigued, that they like the concept of an interconference clash better than a ninth SEC game. 

If the SEC wants to prove its supremacy, what better way than to put it on the line throughout 16 non-conference games against the Big Ten?
