What does it all mean in a bigger context is what we should consider. As we focus more on student-athlete well-being, one has to understand the implications of this in light of new (CFP) formats and length of the season. When asked about the viability of adding another conference game, Kentucky president Eli Capilouto said this ( via Ross Dellenger of Sports Illustrated): “It is very fair to say that it is not just about the money. The SEC can get a leg up on other conferences by adding another game, but instead will just rely on “Big Bad SEC” to get multiple teams into their playoff. As the playoff expands to 12, quality of competition could possibly matter more in the longer term than true win-loss records, because the playoff will have six other at-large teams, teams who didn’t win their conference but were still highly ranked. However, with another added conference game, the SEC will be able to play more meaningful games later on in the season, rather than Alabama taking out their frustrations on poor old Charleston Southern a week before the Iron Bowl. They don’t necessarily have to add another conference game to their schedule, because they know they’ll get at least two teams into the College Football Playoff, especially as it expands to 12. The SEC is doing this thing where they’ve become too big to fail. They’re scared to compete AGAINST EACH OTHER.

Not with other teams outside the SEC, no (although you could also make that argument). The SEC has been playing an eight-game schedule against each other for a while now, and they’re going to keep doing that in the short term despite adding two more teams.
