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.

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.

Alabama running back Jam Miller suffered a collarbone injury in a scrimmage on Aug. 16. Here's when he is expected back for the Crimson Tide:

Alabama running back Jam Miller is dealing with an upper-body injury but is expected to be ready for the SEC opener against Georgia on Sept. 27, according to coach Kalen DeBoer. Miller injured his collarbone during a scrimmage last week and will be sidelined for the team's season opener against Florida State on Aug. 30.

Athlon Sports’ Steven Lassan predicts the permanent opponents for SEC teams on the new nine-game schedule.

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.

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