The conference previously had each of its 14 existing members play either Texas or Oklahoma, but not both, when those two teams joined in 2024, and then just repeated the same matchups in 2025. This will allow the Longhorns to play some teams they haven't faced in decades, most notably South Carolina , Tennessee and Auburn . With them now playing every other team in the conference at least twice in a four-year span, they have a chance to forge some new rivalries as well.. As they are the designated home team for this year's Red River Rivalry against Oklahoma in Dallas, they don't play a true home game between last Saturday against Sam Houston and Nov. 1 against Vanderbilt. They play three road games against SEC opponents and have a bye in that time, thus explaining the month-long drought. Now, though, the SEC can simply give the designated home team five home games against conference opponents, including the game in Dallas, and the designated road team four home game, thus solving the inequality problem. It's a new era in the SEC, and even with the nine-game schedule, the Longhorns are well equipped to compete in their new home.Jon is a lead writer for Baltimore Ravens On SI and contributes to other sites around the network as well.
