Starting next season, the SEC is slated to move to a nine-game conference schedule. Each school is going to have three permanent opponents they will face every year, and the other six games will rotate through the rest of the conference. In theory, everyone will host everyone and vice versa over a four-year cycle, meaning the Gators finally get to play Auburn again.
But the new format is also going to put strain on some rivalries that are etched in stone, and there is reason to believe that one of Florida's classic rivalries may be at risk.
SEC to reveal schedule on Tuesday
On Tuesday, the SEC is going to reveal who the permanent opponents for everyone are, and they are going to announce the SEC schedule for the next four years.
