SEC loses few annual rivalries, but coaches 'get it'

The SEC (Southeastern Conference) has recently announced changes to its scheduling format, which will result in the loss of some annual rivalries. Notable examples include LSU-Alabama, LSU-Florida, and Tennessee-Georgia, which will no longer be played every year. While these traditional matchups will be missed, SEC coaches are said to "get it" and understand the need for the new format. The changes aim to address concerns about the imbalance in scheduling and provide more flexibility in the conference's structure. Despite the loss of these annual rivalries, the SEC remains committed to preserving the rich history and tradition of the conference. Coaches recognize the importance of these rivalries but also acknowledge the need to adapt to the evolving landscape of college football. The new scheduling format is expected to enhance the overall competitiveness and fairness within the SEC, while still allowing for occasional meetings between these longtime foes.
