The fact that SEC officials had a two year head start and still couldn’t figure out an algorithm for these games is baffling.

I think the issue has been more a lack of agreement among the members regarding how to move forward with scheduling/permanent opponents (7+1, 6+3, etc.). The entire format of the 2024 season was always a stop-gap because they couldn’t agree on a permanent format.

There’s also the ESPN aspect, where the SEC wants more money to go to 9 games but the SEC also kind of needs the 6+3 format to make the rivalry games work out cleanly.

Flipping it for 2025 is just a continuation of that. Delaying a permanent schedule format (and allowing everyone to continue playing their rivalry games) while they negotiate internally/externally.

This watch it happen. LSU will have to go to Austin first.

I’d rather not play them at all. I thought all this OOC stupidity would stop when we expanded with adding the top 2 BiG12 programs.
Nothing gets the fanbase pumped up like OOC slates with games vs Nicholls, UTEP, South Alabama, and Southeastern. There will be dozens of fans there rooting on LSU in the 2nd half

We need to schedule cupcakes outside of the SEC, especially for game 1. Then we might actually win a game 1.

I don't think that has been confirmed

I'm thinking it'll be at the old Cotton Bowl. Or at Love Field.
