The SEC football teams will become more familiar with each other as part of a new calendar which should be revealed on Tuesday which removes a division system which saw certain teams pass six seasons without playing, ESPN reported on Monday.
As part of the new calendar of nine games which would be set for the next four years, the teams will play each opponent of the SEC every two years and will finally visit each site of the dry during this period.
Each team will have three annual repeated opponents, six adversaries in rotation and an annual opponent of the power / Notre-Dame conference, reported ESPN.
During the design of the schedule, SEC managers would have used a formula that combined league records for the past four years, while trying to honor longtime rivalries such as Georgia-Florid to create a balance in the calendar. When you consider Oklahoma and Texas, which joined the SEC in 2024, the SEC managers used Big 12 data from the previous three seasons.
The new calendar – which is under construction with a clean slate, so it can include repeated matches from the previous season – will be officially announced on Tuesday at 7 p.m. he on SEC Network and ESPN2.
Repeated opponents are as follows, by ESPN:
Alabama: Auburn, Tennessee, Mississippi State
Arkansas: LSU, Texas, Missouri
Auburn: Alabama, Georgia, Vanderbilt
Georgia: Auburn, Florida, South Carolina
Florida: Georgia, Kentucky, South Carolina
Kentucky: Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee
