For the fifth and final time of the month, it’s an October Saturday full of SEC football.
We’ve reached Week 9 of the 2026 college football season, and bye weeks have kicked in. It’s a particularly bye-heavy Saturday in the SEC, as there are just 5 games on the conference’s Halloween slate.

Four of the five games feature at least one ranked team. There are also a couple of rivalry games being played Saturday in the SEC.
The rivalry game affectionately no longer officially known as the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party is being played in Atlanta this year (and Tampa next year) instead of Jacksonville due to stadium renovations being done by the Jaguars. This year’s game is the only ranked-vs-ranked matchup on Saturday’s SEC slate.
The Cocktail Party is not the only SEC rivalry game being played on Saturday. The Battle Line Rivalry continues with No. 23 Mizzou visiting Fayetteville to take on the Razorbacks. Tigers star running back Ahmad Hardy is set to make his 2026 debut.
Here’s the full SEC schedule for Saturday:
- No. 12 Ole Miss vs. Auburn — 12:45 p.m. ET on SEC Network
- No. 3 Georgia vs. No. 17 Florida (game in Atlanta) — 3:30 p.m. ET on ABC/Disney+
- Oklahoma vs. South Carolina — 4:15 p.m. ET on SEC Network
- No. 11 Texas vs. Mississippi State — 7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN/Disney+
