SEC baseball decides on 2 permanent opponents for all 16 teams, per report
SEC baseball expands to 16 teams next year with the additions of Oklahoma and Texas into the conference.
All 16 teams will play 2 permanent opponents starting in 2025. A report from D1baseball’s Kendall Rogers revealed each team’s opponents on Thursday.
Here’s who all 16 teams will face off against every year starting in 2025:
- Alabama: Tennessee, Auburn
- Arkansas: Ole Miss, Mizzou
- Auburn: Alabama, Georgia
- Florida: Georgia, South Carolina
- Georgia: Florida, Auburn
- Kentucky: South Carolina, Vanderbilt
- LSU: Mississippi State, Texas A&M
- Mississippi State: LSU, Ole Miss
- Mizzou: Arkansas, Oklahoma
- Oklahoma: Mizzou, Texas
- Ole Miss: Mississippi State, Arkansas
- South Carolina: Florida, Kentucky
- Tennessee: Vanderbilt, Alabama
- Texas: Oklahoma, Texas A&M
- Texas A&M: Texas A&M, LSU
- Vanderbilt: Kentucky, Tennessee
It seems like the SEC got most everything right here. The traditional rivalries such as MSU-Ole Miss, Vanderbilt-Tennessee, Texas-Oklahoma and so on are all kept alive with a mostly intact sense of regionality as well.
Are there any missing matchups that the SEC missed on?
