Texas and Oklahoma To Join the SEC in 2024

Over the past few weeks, the talks of Texas and Oklahoma joining the SEC a year early had gone dry. That all changed Thursday night, as the SEC commissioner Greg Sankey announced that Texas and Oklahoma will join the SEC after the 2023-2024 season concludes.

Now the biggest question for the SEC teams will be the scheduling format. The 2024 slate has been given to most teams now, but with Texas and Oklahoma joining that looks like some of those games will need to change. So do they go to a format that consists of eight conference games where one SEC team on the schedule is permanent and the other seven rotate? Or a nine-game format where teams play three permanent SEC opponents and six rotating opponents. This will most likely be decided this summer but right now it is fun to speculate on what could happen.

Georgia will most likely want to get one of Oklahoma or Texas on the schedule for the 2024 season so how will that work you might ask? Well right now as it stands Georgia’s schedule is filled with opponents. They will need to drop one game in order to schedule one of the two teams for that season. Then once that is scheduled the SEC will determine which team gets the first home game.
