In the ever-changing world of college football, the SEC may be playing a nine-game league schedule as soon as the 2026 campaign.

"We have eight games scheduled right now," Texas vice president and athletics director Chris Del Conte said, per Joe Cook of On 3's Inside Texas. "We're working on going to a nine-game schedule, but we have a ways to go with that. I would say this year we have an eight-game schedule. The following year, we have another eight-game schedule. Then we'll look at going into a nine-game conference schedule."
