SEC commissioner Greg Sankey told reporters Friday that the conference’s decision on its future football scheduling format will not be made until later this summer or midway through the fall.
The SEC is focused on creating a single-division model and eliminating the two-division format, according to Sports Illustrated's Ross Dellenger.
On Tuesday, Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin confirmed that the conference narrowed its schedule models to eight-and nine-game conference play formats.
The eight-game format would include teams having one permanent opponent conference while facing seven different conference opponents. The nine-game format would allow teams to have three permanent SEC opponents and six rotating.
