Breaking: SEC Announces Full 2024 Conference Schedule, Filled With Monster Matchups For Oklahoma, Texas
The 2024 football schedule for the SEC has been released after the conference decided on a temporary eight-game schedule. The additions of Texas and Oklahoma were the catalyst in the SEC deciding to announce the schedule earlier in the Summer. Also, the SEC Network was able to parlay this into a must-watch event around the south.
As good as some of these matchups are, the SEC still screwed up when it comes to a few of these first-year games. The fact we still haven't seen Georgia and Texas A&M play in College Station is a travesty. But, the conference is ridding of divisions, so making the championship game will depend on winning percentage, or a tiebreaker.
Every SEC team has either Texas or Oklahoma on their 2024 schedule.
Texas Has A Tough Start To SEC Era, While Florida's Is Brutal
For the Longhorns, they'll have road games at Texas A&M and Arkansas, along with the previously mentioned matchup with Georgia in Austin. Also, Texas and Oklahoma will still play in Dallas at the Cotton Bowl, thank goodness. Don't forget, Texas A&M will also play Notre Dame in the season opener at home.
Welcome to the SEC, Longhorns, who will also play at Michigan in 2024.
In terms of who might have the toughest schedule, that award might go to Florida. Along with the tough SEC stretch, the Gators have to play Miami, Florida State and UCF in non-conference play. If Billy Napier can't get his team to eight wins this season, he could be coaching for his job in 2024.
Another massive game that will be played in 2024 is a rematch between Georgia and Alabama, which will take place in Tuscaloosa. It's about time these two juggernauts played again outside of the SEC championship Atlanta or Indianapolis.
Kirby Smart and Nick Saban will once again meet during the SEC regular season.

So there it is, the 2024 SEC schedule. There will be arguments and the schedule will be the first test in-terms of gauging the College Football Playoffs view of the conference and its strength of schedule.
Either way, we are now setup for a new era in the SEC. Now the question is how long does the conference stick with an eight-game schedule.
