With the SEC deciding earlier this month to remain at an eight-game conference schedule, the league has gotten around to detailing its future schedule rotation starting this season and going through the 2025 season.
Every season, SEC teams will play six games against divisional foes, one permanent annual rival and one non-division crossover game. The permanent opponents, as previously reported, are as follows:
-- Alabama-Tennessee
-- Auburn-Georgia
-- Arkansas Missouri
-- Florida-LSU
-- Kentucky-Mississippi State
-- Ole Miss-Vanderbilt
-- South Carolina-Texas A&M

Just a couple of notes:
- Tennessee will play LSU in Baton Rouge in 2022, 12 years after the Vols last trip to Death Valley.
- When the 2019 Auburn-Florida game is played, it will have been eight years since the last matchup between the two storied football programs. The next AU game against another longtime rival, Tennessee, won’t be until 2018.
- Alabama last played Florida in Gainesville in 2011. The Tide won’t do so again until 2022. UA will go nine regular seasons between matchups with South Carolina, the next one not coming until 2019.
- Missouri will face Mississippi State for the first time as conference foes in 2020, eight years after the Tigers joined the SEC.
- Texas A&M will face Georgia for the first time as conference foes in 2019, seven years after the Aggies joined the SEC.
