Sports Illustrated's Ross Dellenger reporting Monday that the SEC is 'unlikely' to expand to a nine-game format once Texas and Oklahoma join in 2024: REPORT: SEC 'unlikely' to move to nine-game scheduling format in 2024

The biggest topic at this week's SEC Meetings, will be whether the SEC adopts an 8 game league schedule or a 9 game SEC Schedule.

There had been serious momentum in favor of a 9 game SEC schedule, where each team would keep 3 permeant rivalries and rotated the other 6 games where each team in the league would play one another at homeland away every 4 years.

The 9 game schedule would also mean that the SEC schools would only have 4 SEC home games every other year.

Once the proposed, permanent rivalries started leaking out, teams like Alabama started bucking back on the 9 game schedule.

An 8 game SEC schedule would include only one permanent rivalry game and rotate the other 7 games, where each team would play all other SEC opponents at their home and away at least every 4 years.

The kicker in all of this is that ESPN would not pay the SEC more money to move to a 9 game league schedule.

Here is a column that does a very good job of explaining the pros and cons of each schedule


As we have it now, here is where each SEC school reportedly stands on the 9 game league schedule.

• Arkansas, Kentucky, Mississippi State and South Carolina oppose going to nine games
• Alabama/Saban are now leaning to eight
• Auburn, Ole Miss and Tennessee are "on the fence"
• Seven want nine games, including Mizzou and both new additions (Texas & Oklahoma)
• Vanderbilt "has remained silent" on its preference

The 9 game league schedule, once thought to be lock, is losing momentum by the day.

I took a look at the three programs that will accompany Tennessee in its upcoming regional.

- Clemson is 24-10 at home
- Knoxville native Cam Fisher leads the country in home runs for Charlotte
- Vols beat Lipscomb 10-0 this season
