The SEC is delaying the start of its college football season. Per multiple reports, the conference is implementing a 10-game conference-only schedule for each team similar to the ACC, Big Ten and Pac-12. But unlike those three conferences, the SEC is also moving the start of football season back. The first SEC games will kick off on Sept. 26, three weeks after the original Week 1 start date on Labor Day weekend.
The delay means that the SEC Championship Game won’t be played until Dec. 19 instead of Dec. 5.

Don’t care what Communists do in their spare time. NCAA is done for me along with the other kneeling billionaire franchises that have it so tough.
I hope any virtue signalling will bring a 15 yard personal foul.
Pioneer League planning conference-only schedule, also starting 9/26.
If they can stick to it...
Dunno...
Those cupcakes are able to pay for their entire programs with a game or two against the SEC. they don’t generate enough money to have teams playing other cupcakes.
Time for conditioning.
“Those cupcakes are able to pay for their entire programs with a game or two against the SEC. they don’t generate enough money to have teams playing other cupcakes.”
Completely true!
If you believe they will play all 10 games on this schedule, I have got some bridges you may enjoy buying.
And chances for smaller school athletes to get scouted. Lou Holtz thinks it’s a bad idea. Was on Fox last week.
Sounds like we are picking up you and Ole Miss. Rough for a team trying to get its feet back under it.
Only way a 10 game conference schedule would work is if the champion had a guaranteed spot in the playoffs. Too much chance for 2 or 3 loss champion excluded from the playoffs by inferior teams with ‘better’ records.
So what. Don’t lose 2 or 3 games. Unless you feel that the SEC is entitled to a playoff berth, which they aren’t.
Maybe this season (if there is one) would be a good opportunity for an expanded playoff with all the conference champions.
What are the odds the season gets cancelled just before Sept 26?
Because...second wave.
See ya on the field...10 games. Let’s hope they let them play!
I remember the “bad ole days” when LSU was astonishingly bad so there is hope!!
And hopefully there will be a season cuz we’re just reloading!
