My bet is the SEC will stay at 8 SEC games and the playoff stays at 12.

My prediction: in 2026 LSU will play Texas A&M, Texas, UGA, Auburn, Tennessee, Mizzou, UK, and State.

Although it should go to 9 game SEC schedule it won’t be in 2026; looks like it will stay at 8 games. Why? Some SEC teams already have four non conference teams on their schedule in 2026.

I’m ok with going to 9 games if they completely rethink the whole sec championship game weekend.

(*Assuming they go to the 4 guaranteed model for playoffs.)

Need to crown the champ based off the regular season, and give them an extra week off. Then you have 2 “play in” games for the 3rd & 4th spots on CC weekend 3rd vs 6th and 4th vs 5th based on regular season finish. *Or have stipulations where if 3 teams are tied for the reg season crown, you still have tiebreakers for 1-2-3, but only have one play in game b/t 4th & 5th

Don't think this will ever happen. With the expanded national playoffs we already have and the rumblings to expand it even further, adding a conference playoff is too many games.
