Look, if all we get is conference games that is better than no games. I really do not care what team is playing another for one year as long as they get to play. As @JoseyWalesTheOutlaw just said, "you adapt, you overcome, you improvise."

And go back? I hope not. It is absolutely ridiculous for a conference to play the same number of OOC games as conference games. As does the SEC.
If you are going to be in a conference then play the other damn teams! If you don't want to, then get the Hell out of the conference. The other 13 schools need to grow a set. And don't go back to 9, much less 8!
The chicken chit SEC Six Conference Game Minimum/Maximum Rule came about because Coach Bryant was able to schedule seven games most of the time, eight a few times, and would have scheduled all nine if they would have played him.

And one year he scheduled..i think it was ole ms...and conference commish wouldnt let them count it as a conference game cause it was more than everyone else had scheduled... things have improved since those days a bunch

What happened is that in the 1980 Spring meetings the Six Conference Game Minimum Rule was expanded to read Maximum also. Bama and Ole Miss were already scheduled to play a seventh game in both 1980 and 1981. Rather than cancel the games they agreed to play them as OOC games. Resulting in the ONLY two regular season games between conference members in the history of the SEC that did not count in the standings.
