Six takeaways from the 2024 Texas football schedule

10-2 should make a 12-team playoff easily with the Longhorns’ 2024 schedule.

The SEC schedule complete with dates was released Wednesday night. No doubt it has Texas fans fired up for the team’s inaugural season in the Southeastern Conference.

The schedule is about as favorable as they could make it while being fair to other teams across the league. Perhaps only Texas A&M, who avoids both Georgia and Alabama and gets Texas at home, has the only easier schedule on the western side of the conference.

Here’s a look at the complete schedule.

  1. Colorado State
  2. at Michigan
  3. UTSA
  4. Louisiana-Monroe
  5. Mississippi State
  6. BYE
  7. at Oklahoma (home)
  8. Georgia
  9. at Vanderbilt
  10. BYE
  11. Florida
  12. at Arkansas
  13. Kentucky
  14. at Texas A&M

Texas will face its fair share of top opponents. The Longhorns face the Michigan Wolverines in Week 2 in what will surely carry one of the bigger television audiences of the season. By midseason, Texas faces Oklahoma and Georgia in back to back games.

Let’s look at a few takeaways from what seems to be a manageable first SEC schedule.

Ranking the 2024 SEC schedules from easiest to toughest

The 2024 SEC football schedules have finally been released.

The 2024 SEC football schedules have finally been released. So today we are going to take a look at what teams have the easiest and what teams have the toughest schedules for next fall.

The way I have calculated the strength of the schedules is by totaling the wins and losses from the 2023 schedule for each of the team’s 2024 opponents. That has led us to these two conclusions: Missouri has the biggest cupcake schedule of the entire conference. They are the only team in the SEC that plays teams that finished with an overall losing record in 2023.

On the other end of that spectrum, Billy Napier and the Florida Gators drew the short end of the straw as they wound up with the toughest schedule in the SEC and maybe in the entire NCAA. The Gators play teams that finished with a combined record of 102-44 in 2023.

Here’s how all 2024 SEC schedules stack up.

The SEC unveiled its schedule for the 2024 season, so now we know when the Sooners will play their new conference foes next season.

The schedule was always going to be daunting. You don’t move to the SEC without an understanding that you’re playing the best of the best nearly every week. But there are some positives in the Sooners’ schedule, such as the bye week before the Red River Showdown and another before the closing two-game stretch against Alabama and LSU.

The Sooners start with four consecutive games at home before going on the road to Auburn, Alabama, for their first SEC road game in their new conference.

The SEC is set to undergo some serious changes in 2024 with Oklahoma and Texas joining the conference.

As the league expands to 16 teams, the divisions that have existed since 1992 are no more. With that also comes a massive change to both scheduling and how the championship participants are decided.

LSU already knows which league opponents it will face in 2024, but it doesn’t yet know the full schedule. That information will be revealed on Wednesday night with a live special aired on ESPN and the SEC Network.

Here’s all the information you need to follow along as LSU learns exactly what its gauntlet in the new SEC will look like.

  • Date: December 13, 2023
  • Time: 6 p.m. CT
  • TV: ESPN/SEC Network
  • App: WatchESPN
  • Live Stream: fuboTV (watch here)

In the meantime, here’s what we know so far about LSU’s schedule. Dates are listed if they’ve already been revealed.

SEC schedule dates to be released at 6 p.m. CT on Wednesday night

The Longhorns 2024 conference schedule dates are set to be revealed Wednesday night on the SEC Network.

The Texas Longhorns will play in a different conference next season. On Wednesday night we will learn what days they will play their scheduled 2024 opponents.

The Longhorns opponents were revealed prior to the team’s impressive 2023 season. We know the team’s home and away opponents. Famously, the SEC designated Texas A&M and Arkansas as home teams against Texas. The Longhorns are also set to face Vanderbilt, Oklahoma (Dallas) and Michigan away from Austin.

The bulk of Texas’ schedule will take place at home. The team will play host to Georgia, Florida, Mississippi State, Kentucky, Colorado State, Louisiana-Monroe and UTSA in 2024.

Schedule dates for the Georgia, Arkansas and Texas A&M games have been released. Texas will face Georgia on Oct. 19, Arkansas on Nov. 16 and Texas A&M in Nov. 30. Facing classic rivals Arkansas and Texas A&M within a two week span has to excite the fanbase heading into 2024.

The team’s first SEC schedule is more favorable than the team it enters the league with this season. Though, in fairness to Texas, the Longhorns have Michigan in their nonconference slate.

Oklahoma will have to face LSU, Ole Miss, Missouri and Auburn on the road with just three true home games against Alabama, Tennessee and South Carolina. Their neutral site game against Texas will count as their fourth home game.

Where Texas’ games land might determine how favorable the Longhorns’ schedule will be next season. The schedule reveal will take place at 6 p.m. CT on SEC Network and ESPN.

LSU learns date for Ole Miss matchup in 2024

The Tigers will host the Rebels relatively early in the season, as was announced on Monday Night Football.

LSU knows which opponents it will face when the SEC expands to 16 teams in 2024 with the addition of Texas and Oklahoma, but it doesn’t yet know the full conference schedule.

That will have to wait until the full schedule is revealed on ESPN and the SEC Network on Wednesday night at 6 p.m. CT, but for the time being, LSU does know when a couple of those matchups will take place.

During Monday Night Football with Peyton & Eli, it was revealed that the Tigers will take on rival Ole Miss relatively early in the season on Oct. 12. LSU also already knows it will travel to Texas A&M on Oct. 26 and host Alabama on Nov. 9, but the rest of the schedule remains up in the air.

That will soon change as the Tigers will find out their full gauntlet in the new SEC on Wednesday night.

The 2024 SEC schedule will be revealed in December

The SEC Network will release the 2024 SEC schedule on Wednesday, Dec. 13, as Texas A&M will know their future matchup times and dates.

Prepare for the 2024 SEC season, folks, as the impending matchups will finally receive a time and date, as new Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko will lead the Aggies on the field for the season-opening home matchup vs. Notre Dame on Saturday, Aug. 31.

Back in June, SEC Network revealed every SEC team’s conference schedule, as the East and West conferences will be eliminated starting in 2024, and the top two finishers will face each other in the SEC Championship.

On Thursday, it announced that the totality of the SEC schedule would be revealed on Wednesday, Dec. 13, as the Aggie’s season finale matchup vs. Texas in the reincarnation of the Lone Star Showdown, reportedly occurring on Saturday, Nov. 30.

For the Aggies, when I say favorable, I’m referencing the fact that both Alabama, Ole Miss, and Georgia are not on the schedule, and if Elko can keep this roster intact coupled with adding players through recruiting and the transfer portal, as former head coach Jimbo Fisher’s lack of activity in the portal over the bulk of his Aggie career greatly hindered in-season production.

Here is every SEC team Texas A&M will play in 2024:

Oklahoma Sooners to start SEC play against the Volunteers, date set for Alabama per ESPN

The Oklahoma Sooners will face a familiar foe in their first game in the SEC according to a report from ESPN.

The Oklahoma Sooners have wrapped up their final season in the Big 12. This offseason, the Sooners will be gearing up for the SEC.

The Sooners learned who their opponents would be back in June, and now we’re getting a first glimpse at some of the dates on the schedule.

The schedule is expected to be released sometime in December. On Monday evening, ESPN’s Chris Low reported the dates for two Sooners matchups in 2024, Both of which will be played in Norman, Okla.

The Oklahoma Sooners are reportedly set to open SEC play at home on Sept. 21, 2024, against the Tennessee Volunteers. This will mark the return of Oklahoma’s last national champion quarterback, Josh Heupel. Heupel has been the head coach of the Tennessee Volunteers the last two seasons.

The other matchup will take place toward the end of the season and will have SEC title game implications. Oklahoma will host Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide on Nov. 23, 2024.

Both home dates have already created a ton of buzz. The return of Heupel is one that many are excited about. It provides an opportunity for Oklahoma and its fans to give him the proper return he deserves. The Vols last played in Norman back in 2014, and Oklahoma came out on top.

Anytime Alabama comes to town, it has a chance of being a game of the week type contest. They last played in Norman in 2002, with the Sooners coming away with the win.
