Southeastern Conference will only play league games in 2020.
The SEC approved 10-game schedule is set to start September 26, with the championship game rescheduled to December 19. This announcement comes after other power five conference have announced similar changes, including ACC, Big 10 and PAC-12. With this change it now brings an end to the long held tradition of Florida V. Florida State for the 2020 season. That’s a bummer because I really look forward to that game each year.
