The person who posted this claims that it is the SEC schedule going forward after the 2023 season. If true, my worst fears have been realized: Florida vs. Oklahoma every season. It appears that the SEC is doing away with divisions, because Tennessee, Kentucky, Vanderbilt and Missouri go into the rotating opponent schedule instead of being on the schedule every year. One curious thing is that it shows the Oklahoma-Oklahoma State game being preserved as an annual game, when the scuttlebutt around the Big 12 is that OSU claims that they can't fit the game into the schedule every year once OU moves to the SEC. It also shows Texas A&M playing Appalachian State every year, which seems odd. It shows nine conference games, which means that with Florida State penciled in every year, UF only has two games to play with in scheduling other non-conference opponents.  |

Some of it makes sense, some of it doesn’t. We’ll see if it sticks.

Completely objectively: that's about the stupidest thing I've ever seen. Making Tennessee and LSU rotational opponents but preserving that Florida-South Carolina rivalry? Riveting stuff. I guess maybe it's to even out having to play UGA every year but that seems stupid. I don't even care that much about LSU, that's whatever, but the teams in the respective divisions should all play each other. Tennessee plays Vandy and UK every year but rotates with us and UGA? That's really stupid. God forbid we get rid of one of the cupcake games though.

Not sure they plan on divisions moving forward. Talk I heard was everyone just go play and then the 2 best conf records meet in Atlanta.
All I can say is they better have some good tie breakers set up.

I mean with the 12 team play-off set up I guess the SEC championship was going to lose a lot of it's mystique anyway, it may not even be for a bye. Candidly if they do it remotely on merit both teams from the SEC should get a bye anyway because even this year the 2nd best team in the country (maybe 3rd) was Alabama, they just ran into bad luck with Young's injury, having the bullseye on their back, and anti-SEC bias. Depending on how much Ryan Day decides to Ryan Day you could very well end up with an all SEC final 4, and I'm betting that you'll see 3 SEC teams in there sooner than later. |

As far as the annual part of the schedule LSU is the winner by far (Ole Miss, Arkansas, and A&M) and Auburn seems to be the loser (Bama, Georgia and Miss State). We could have done worse with OU, Georgia and South Carolina.
