At this week’s SEC spring meetings, Alabama coach Nick Saban was asked about his thoughts on the proposed schedule changes for the conference once the SEC turns into a 16-team league, with Texas and Oklahoma joining the conference by 2025.
The future of the SEC schedule is coming down to two options, according to Sports Illustrated’s Ross Dellenger: “An eight-game format where teams play one permanent opponent and seven rotating opponents (1–7 model); and a nine-game format where teams play three permanent opponents and six rotating (3–6).”
Out of those two options, it sounds like Saban is in favor of the nine-game conference schedule.
