To add to this, if the Big Ten were to pick up OU/KU and drop back to 8 conference games, they actually would slightly increase the total number of intraconference games (63 to 64). Oklahoma has 4 OOC games to play OSU, UT, and 2 G5/FCS bodybag games.
Big Ten wont go to 8. They actually seriously have discussed going to 10, since the games fans most care about are against B1G opponents.
That will work best when we have a P4 and it's a champs only CFP. And anticipation of that is the best reason to be discussing 10. Otherwise the Big 10 would be shooting itself in the foot potentially, as would the SEC, to ponder such a move.
Make it a P4 and even the SEC would see the benefit in moving to 10 conference games because our fans would rather see conference games as well.
I just find the mere fact that moving to 10 conference games within the Big 10 was even discussed to be revealing.
