We need a special exemption to make Texas fans sit in the east sideline upper decks for their first game here.

Not a surprise and pretty much confirms the CFP is expanding after this year (to either 14 or 16 teams)

Hopefully the mandate remains that SEC teams still have to play at least 1 P4 non-conference opponent. That would at least get us closer to eliminating the crappy games vs. the likes of SLU, Western Kentucky, etc.

You can say goodbye to big non conference games now

That's a tough one. I think Ole Miss and A&M are likely. I bet the third team would be either Alabama, Arkansas or Florida...in that order of likelihood.

They will give LSU Alabama, Georgia, and Texas A&M
Texas gets, Vanderbilt, Missouri, and Mississippi State.

Good. Going a decade without playing against some conference teams is idiotic.

Not if the playoffs keep expanding and billions of dollars of tv contracts are on the table

I don't mind the 9th game. But I feel like a better solution to playing everyone more often would be to remove Texas A&M, Mizzou, Texas, and Oklahoma from the conference.

Side note, putting BREAKING in your title is for losers.




Arkansas, Ole Piss, and Aggie would be a fine three to me for perms. I’m not sure if Bama would want to keep us due to them having to play Tenner/Aubie already.

Wrong. SEC is still requiring scheduling a P4 non-conference game annually

They're definitely not getting rid of Arkansas and Bama.. Too many eye balls from the bama game and arky is our main rival game. I could see us keeping OM and losing Florida/A&M
