With the Oklahoma Sooners and Texas Longhorns moving to the SEC next year, we just got our first look at what that looks like with the SEC opponents reveal for 2024.
The SEC did the Sooners zero favors when it comes their schedule. This rings out in USA Today’s list of the Top 10 SEC games for the 2024 season by Jace Evans.
Evans includes the five different matchups including the Oklahoma Sooners. Oklahoma is going into a buzzsaw in the SEC, at least on paper.
Evans introduces the list by talking about a key scheduling quirk in the new SEC. There are no more divisions, and because of that, the matchups can get even more interesting.
The SEC has released the schedule for the 2024 football season … mostly. Specific dates and times have yet to be nailed down, but we have the most important thing: The matchups and the locations.
And there’s a lot to take in on that front considering the SEC is gaining two new members in 2024 in Oklahoma and Texas, two true college football blue bloods. Their maiden voyage in an SEC that is also doing away with divisions creates a number of interesting games between powers that just haven’t clashed all that much, or at least not recently. But there’s plenty of other great matchups on the schedule between traditional SEC powers, too. – Evans, USA TODAY Sports
