The current SEC schedule calls for 8 SEC games per year. Each school has ONE permanent opponent and rotates everyone else playing each of those teams every other year.


There is no permanent setup for 2024. It is a one-time format until they vote on 9 SEC games.

OU and UT are permanent opponents, but SEC is not giving up the UT-A&M rivalry either.

What I understand is that the sec wanted to go to 9 but ESPN wont pay. SEC however had the votes with needing majority to go to 9 games. Was 9 votes for and 7 against. The 7, vandy, miss st, ole miss, kentucky, missouri, arkansas and South Carolina. Basically, the ones whom need that auto win.

Then Saban didn't like his draw of lsu, tenn, and auburn and switched sides. 8-8

NOW, before fighting for the 9th game or making concessions in order for it to happens, the SEC wants to see how this coming year plays out to see what the advantage is for the 12 team playoffs
