Yeah, but they are going to 9 plus 1 from ACC, B1G, or B12. In 2030 UGA will play 9 conference games, Clemson, Georgia Tech, and the Ohio State.The change in schedule strength calculations a few days ago was designed to force the SEC's hand. The formula change would have screwed them if they stayed at 8 conference games. Going to 9 doesn't give them an advantage under the new rule because everyone will factor that in when they schedule. The SOS rule levelled the playing field.
As far as forcing hand, maybe. Everything I'm reading was that SEC offices were waiting for SOS to be added in and was a condition of going to 9.
