Lane Kiffin and Co. will gear up for a challenging Southeastern Conference slate as the SEC transitions to a new scheduling format

In new nine-team league schedule, each program will have three annual opponents that will be re-evaluated every four years along six rotational opponents.

“Really relieving, I know this for me, for our fans,” Kiffin said on Saturday. “It was because we really didn’t need another one of those type of games. I think in this conference, you’re gonna have a lot of them.

"I’ve said that this model is set up that the SEC bottom is gonna be really strong, so you’re gonna have a lot of hard games, eight of them, and then nine starting next year because the portal and teams may be down there, they’re gonna fill the voids.

"Used to take maybe two years to get out of there, out of the bottom. So this was good to have against a team that normally doesn’t have a score like that against them.”
