Report: SEC still considering additions to potential conference-only schedule

Decisions are being made in the Power 5 conferences on Wednesday, especially when it comes to 2020 football schedules.

The ACC announced a 10-game league schedule with 1 opportunity for a nonconference showdown. Meanwhile, the SEC is reportedly considering a 10-game league-only schedule.

However, 247Sports reporter Brandon Marcello said nothing is finalized in the SEC and changes could still be made:

Nothing is finalized in #SEC. Don’t be shocked if ADs change mind on idea of conference-only schedule. As one source put it: “We’re in constant communication.”

SEC presidents and chancellors meet virtually Thursday morning.

Hypothetically, that could be a change that would allow the ACC-SEC rivalry games to continue this fall.

What if that doesn’t happen and the SEC plays a league-only schedule? Andy Staples says that might be a bad look for the SEC:

So here’s the deal with the SEC-ACC thing.

The ACC can always lop off the non-conference game if the SEC decides to go conference-only.

But everyone will know who backed out, and there are four SEC schools that probably would rather not deal with the local political fallout.

There are still more meetings to take place in the SEC this week. We’ll see what the conference finalizes in the next few days.
