ATHENS — Most everyone agreed college football would need a different look this season amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Not surprisingly, now that it’s happening few seem comfortable with the makeover.

The SEC announced it would play a 10-game, conference-only schedule with its season slated to start on Sept. 26.

“Having the ability to manage our own schedule, we believe this gives us the bet opportunity to play for our championship,” SEC commissioner Greg Sankey said on SEC Network.

The SEC season will run through Dec. 5, with all teams scheduled off on Dec. 12 leading up to the SEC Championship Game on Dec. 19 in Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

The league teams will play the eight conference games already scheduled in addition to two other yet-to-be determined SEC opponents.

The SEC has not tipped its hand as to when it will make an announcement on the revised schedule, or which model it will use.

One of the schedule models being considered for increasing the league slate to 10 games involves adding the next two cross division opponents coming up on their schedule rotation.

Georgia would seem to benefit if that model is used, while Florida’s schedule would grow tougher.

That said, UGA’s current existing games are tougher than the Gators, so it could have a balancing out effect.

Here’s a look at how each team’s divisional cross-over schedule would look if the “ROTATION” model using the next two teams in the rotation is employed:

(Projection only — the SEC has not announced its new schedule model)

Florida 

Current: LSU (H), at Ole Miss; Rotation: Alabama (H), at Texas A&M

Loser: The Gators could go from trendy pick to third-place team in East Division.

Winner: Picking up Hogs and Dogs would even out Alabama-Auburn draw.
