The SEC is expanding in 2024 as historic programs Texas and Oklahoma join the league. The best conference in college football will get even better, and the league must adjust its schedule to accommodate 16 teams instead of 14. South Carolina football seems to have a preference as to how this change is handled, and so do other programs across the conference.
The primary options on the table are an 8-game schedule and a 9-game schedule. Each format has pros and cons, and different teams in the SEC have different reasons for supporting or arguing against each schedule type.
