The consequences of the SEC going from eight to nine games could result in this big cancellation.
As soon as the SEC decided to expand from an eight-game to a nine-game conference schedule, this was always bound to happen. While teams like the Georgia Bulldogs have usually done a great job of scheduling meaningful opponents in their non-conference, there are still only 12 regular-season games to be had. The game coming into question for the 2026 season is at the Louisville Cardinals.
