When Nick Saban talks, people listen. When the Alabama coach, who has won two of the last three national championships, stakes out a firm position on a controversial issue, then people really listen.
So it was significant as SEC Media Days came to a close on Friday that Saban said, in no uncertain terms, that it was time for the SEC to go to a nine-game conference schedule.
"To me it's pretty simple," said Saban. "When you increase the size of the conference by 15 percent [by adding Missouri and Texas A&M], you should increase the number of conference games you play."

Saban is probaby right, but that would mean UK would have to drop one of the cupcakes from their schedule, whcih would mean they would probably never qualify for another bowl game. Especially, as long as Joker is the coach.
