SEC settles on 8-game league schedule, single-division play for 2024 season

MIRAMAR BEACH, Fla. — The SEC has settled on an eight-game schedule and single division format for the 2024 season.

SEC commissioner Greg Sankey announced the changes for the 2024 season, which were approved by vote of the league presidents and chancellors, at the SEC Spring Meetings in Miramar Beach, Fla., on Thursday afternoon.

“We have been engaged in planning for the entry of Oklahoma and Texas into the SEC since the summer of 2021, but the change of the membership date from 2025 to 2024 creates scheduling complexities that can better be managed with a one-year schedule,” Sankey said.

Sankey, anticipating some might be critical of the SEC playing an eight-game league slate while other Power 5 conferences play nine, said “I’m pretty sure the last game of the season was 65-7. If the indictment is that we don’t play the highest level of football, then someone isn’t watching the game.”

well, you might expect good results
in the last week,
when you get a live practice game
late in the season...

It ain't UGA's fault that Georgia Tech sucks. They use to be national champs. But then UGA ran the table on 3 consecutive top 5 teams. That part don't matter, though, amirite?

Honestly, I have no idea. I don't give a shit about the rest of the conference.

Yep, that was me. Why? Because it was UGA kicking the Dawgshit out of somebody.

If Sankey quoted anything that pertained to any other team in the SEC, you would never see me notice it.

I'm fine with this if this means we get to see more high profile OOC games.

It's only for 2024......for now. They will address it again after Texas and Oklahoma are full members.

To quote Kirby, "It's the most ridiculous argument in the world. Who we play doesn't matter. We set our own standard. It ain't about them, it's about us."

UGA was gonna have 10 this year with a trip to Norman to play Oklahoma, but the SEC cancelled it due to the return game in Athens 8 years later would be a conference game. Future scheduling already has UGA with 11 some years, but they play 10 almost every season.

It gives them more OOc games which gives them more opportunities for high profile OOC games. I know many of the schools already have an in state ACC rival. If they are playing that plus another P5 opponent, that’s fine in my book.

I’m impartial to many teams. I live in the NYC area now so I go to many UConn, Rutgers and Penn State games. I used to live/work on the west coast. When I lived there, I went to many Oregon, OSU and Washington games. Have a lot of friends who support those schools.
