The SEC Schedule Will Retain the Eight-Game Conference Format for 2025 Season

In the latest college football news, those interested in football betting are keeping an eye out on both team updates, as well as updates on any college football rule change. After all, changes in formats, game calls, and other such matters can have a large impact on the performance of each team in the league. Switching conferences and such can influence other teams’ chances of winning College Bowls and such. And in line with this, we are looking at the SEC Schedule and the conference format for the 2025 season.

When you open a football sportsbook, you need to know the structure of a sports league. In NCAA football, you have many conferences forming the league, and even though they subscribe to the same rules of the league as a whole, they still have internal rules, formats, and other operational aspects to set.

SEC Schedule for 2025 Season

The SEC Schedule Will Retain the Eight-Game Conference Format for 2025 SeasonEarlier, there were discussions on changing the eight-game conference format to a nine-game slate. But the SEC will not be pursuing this change- at least not for this coming season. The 2025 conference schedule will follow the 2024 format. The only chance is that home and away sites will be flipped.

This will be the first season where there will be 16 members as they add Texas and Oklahoma. The top two teams in the rankings will get to play the SEC Championship Game. This will also be the first time that there will not be any divisions since 1991. According to SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey, they want to evaluate the effectiveness of this scheduling format before they want to embark on changing the format.

This is newsworthy because once the lines open in your sportsbook pay per head software, you will see the discrepancy with other conferences. This season, other big conferences like the Big Ten will be playing a nine-game conference format. The schedule will also likely be more flexible to allow the SEC to air their games and allow for better ratings in their broadcasts if they do not compete with other games from other conferences.
