SEC unveils 2024 schedule with Oklahoma and Texas joining league; Georgia-Alabama, Red River Showdown highlight matchups
- The SEC released its schedule for the 2024 season, the first with Oklahoma and Texas as members, sticking with an eight-game model for now.
- Oklahoma and Texas received marquee home games against recent national champions, with Oklahoma hosting Alabama and Texas hosting Georgia.
- The SEC aimed to preserve tradition in the schedule, including the Third Saturday in October between Tennessee and Alabama and the Deep South's Oldest Rivalry between Auburn and Georgia.
- Georgia's schedule is difficult, including road games at Alabama and Texas, while Arkansas and Texas A&M have more favorable schedules.
- The SEC will evaluate potentially moving to a nine-game schedule starting in 2025, though some, like Alabama's Nick Saban, prefer remaining at eight games.
