SEC to play 10-game, conference-only football schedule in 2020

The SEC presidents and chancellors on Thursday approved a 10-game, conference-only football schedule for the fall that begins on Sept. 26.

The full schedule will be announced at a later date. Sources told ESPN that the two additional league games are expected to come from each school's cross-divisional rotating opponents for the 2021 and 2022 seasons. For instance, Alabama would add Florida and Vanderbilt, and Georgia would add Arkansas and Mississippi State.

Normally, each SEC school plays eight league games, which includes six divisional foes, one permanent cross-divisional foe and one rotating cross-divisional foe.

The SEC title game is scheduled for Dec. 19, two weeks later than planned, at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. The schedule includes one open date for each school in the middle of the season, as well as an open date on Dec. 12 for all teams.

No, my overly-optimistic friends, there will be no college football this year. You had better get used to the idea. This is NOT some kind of liberal hoax.
