Give Tennessee - Bama, Vandy, UK

I’m fine with the 9 games as long as we get our 3 historic rivals

How do they address the odd number when some teams have neutral site games?

This is linked to the committee updating their ranking criteria to consider opponent strength. SEC wouldn't move forward without it.

It's been weird without UGA on the schedule quite honestly.

I'll believe that when I see it. Big 10 teams continue to schedule weak OOC games. Indiana is a perfect example of this.

IKR...

We played State last year and yall played Alabama. The conference could have (and should have) flipped that so both rivalries stayed in tact.

The greatest show on turf just got greater. More money and SOS are a major part of the Playoff equation. What could go wrong?

For one, the Cajuns could now get their wish, but that's what they get for not filtering their swamp water.

This is awesome.

I’ve heard Auburn will likely land Bama, Georgia, and Vandy…. The last one balancing it out for SOS purposes. I’d love to get the UF game back on an annual basis but it seems unlikely.
