SEC to remain at eight-game conference schedule in 2024
SEC presidents vote to remain at eight games in 2024; Texas vs. Texas A&M still appears on in Longhorns first year in SEC
The SEC presidents voted to keep the conference schedule at eight games for the 2024 season during the latest meetings. Texas and Oklahoma join that season, making the SEC a 16-team league. Still, a lack of extra investment and pushback by at least half of the league kept the group from moving to nine games.
The major difference between a potential eight- or nine-game conference schedule is a matter of permanent opponents.

For Texas A&M, LSU would likely the be the yearly matchup.
