Auburn football: Could the SEC adopt the ‘Flex Protect Plus’ system?

Big changes are coming for Auburn football and the other teams in the SEC following the 2024 football season. With Oklahoma and Texas joining the conference, a new way of scheduling will have to be adopted due to the large number of teams.

There was a lot of debate over whether or not the SEC should have an eight- or nine-conference game schedule, and it was ultimately decided that there would be no changes to the scheduling model in 2024, meaning eight conference games. However, there will need to be a long term solution for the SEC sooner or later.
