Greg Sankey, commissioner of the Southeastern Conference, shared the latest details on the SEC’s future scheduling format on Tuesday.
Sankey said the league is focused more on a single division model and eliminating the two-division format, according to Sports Illustrated’s Ross Dellenger. Rebels coach Lane Kiffin confirmed that the conference narrowed its scheduling models to eight- and nine-game formats but declined to reveal more details.
The commissioner followed that statement with the expectation that the new format will happen "sooner rather than later."
In an eight-game format, teams in the league would have one permanent opponent and face seven rotating opponents (1-7 model).
