Highlights
  • The SEC will move to a nine-game conference schedule beginning in 2026, ending a long debate and potentially easing a path toward further playoff expansion.
  • Sankey says the change protects rivalries, boosts competition, and pairs a ninth game with another Power opponent to ready SEC teams for the playoff era.
  • Under the new format, each school keeps three annual rivals while six conference games rotate, preserving tradition yet expanding exposure.
