Obviously, we learned that Alabama, Kentucky, and Vandy are our permanent opponents and we'll have 5 SEC home games in 2026. But when will we learn the full schedule? Guys, I want Texas in Neyland for a night game in the worst way. Let's do an orange out and go all orange uniforms and show them who the real UT is.

Tuesday the opponents of each team will be announced (and possibly the order they will be played in).

Game times, of course, are generally not determined until the a few weeks before each of those games.

I'm willing to bet we're in Austin NEXT year and Texas, in Knoxville, in 2028

Our luck it will be Georgia, Texas, Texas A&M, LSU, Oklahoma, and Florida

This part is honestly more interesting to me than who the traditional rivalry games are. Some teams have a tougher slate of rivals than others. And you can go one of two ways, right? One is to make sure you play every other opponent in the conference every few years no matter what, and the other is to make sure there's scheduling parity and that teams with tougher rivalry games skew a bit weaker on the rest of the conference slate. Frankly, I don't want to be NFL lite. I'd rather home and away everyone even if that potentially means the schedule is tougher sometimes than it might be otherwise. That's part of what college football is supposed to be, to me.

It’s not really going to matter. Over the next four seasons everyone is going to play their three permanent opponents every year and play every other team twice. The net difference for us is we get 2 more games vs Vandy and Kentucky during that time.

I don't like that they put us on a rotation where every other year we have to play Florida Georgia and Bama in the same year. they need to break up Florida and Georgia.
