KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) – The Southeastern Conference announced league matchups for the next four years, including designating three annual — not permanent — opponents for each of its 16 teams.
The new format begins next year and runs through 2029, with the SEC having the option to tweak it every four years to maintain competitive balance.
Each team will play three opponents annually and rotate through the remaining 12.
