If 2020 wasn’t already bad enough, it will not include the following:

Georgia-Georgia Tech.
South Carolina-Clemson.
Texas-LSU.
Tennessee-Oklahoma.
Arkansas-Notre Dame.

Administrators from some of those schools fought to preserve those games—South Carolina’s president even voted against the scheduling model—but alas, it couldn’t be done.
