The SEC has announced that the conference is going to move to a nine-game schedule in 2026, with three games against a permanent opponent and the other six games against a rotating slate.
In addition to the nine games, the conference also announced that everyone in the SEC is required to schedule at least one Power 4 opponent annually.
The Florida Gators already have an annual Power 4 opponent in FSU, but with the nine-game slate, there are other future matchups that might be at risk moving forward.
