As cameras pointed and reporters scrambled at SEC Media Days, Georgia quarterback Gunner Stockton sat at his podium, waiting for the next question. The entire time, a boyish grin spread

With the SEC now transitioning to nine conference games required starting in 2026, Georgia faces a major problem in their schedule.

The SEC is going to a nine-game schedule in 2026. Here's what it could mean for Georgia's rivalry games, the nonconference slate and going to Texas A&M.

The SEC is making the right decision to preserve at least three permanent opponents per school in this new nine-game model. The conference's motto is literally "It just means more" so it would be pretty hypocritical to toss traditional rivalries in the name of staying relevant in the eyes of the College Football Playoff committee.

Sure, Texas is loaded to the gills with talent, has the hotshot big-name QB, and made consecutive Final Four appearances in the College Football Playoff. Aaron Murray merely wants to see some Ws in those games before officially stamping Texas as the class of the conference.

Auburn football will face three permanent opponents under the SEC's new scheduling format. USA TODAY's Paul Myerberg predicts those three teams.

In this era of bloated conference sizes, none of the other leagues can compete with the depth of the Southeastern Conference.

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger issued subpoenas Monday as the scandal threatens to roil Republican Party chapters across the country.
