Description: SEC Football shakeup: 9-game conference schedule set for 2026. How will this reshape rivalries and playoff chances? What do you think - should SEC teams keep scheduling tough OOC games? Chris Gordy breaks down the SEC's groundbreaking decision, analyzing its impact on non-conference matchups and the College Football Playoff landscape. The discussion covers potential permanent rivals for each SEC team, including Alabama Crimson Tide vs. Tennessee Volunteers, and explores how the new schedule might affect future high-profile non-conference games. Gordy also examines recent changes to the College Football Playoff criteria, which could benefit SEC teams with challenging schedules. New metric will reward teams for beating quality opponents and minimize penalties for close losses to top teams. This could help SEC teams who play tough schedules. Do you think this is fair or does it give SEC an unfair advantage? Tune in for an in-depth analysis of how this seismic shift will transform SEC Football and potentially alter the path to national championships.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Rugiet150,000 men have made the switch →https://Rugiet.com/LOCKEDONCOLLEGEUse code LOCKEDONNFL to get 15% off your order!DripDropRight now, DripDropis offering Locked On listeners 20% off your first order.
