The SEC will play a 10-game conference only schedule that won’t start until Sept. 26. The COVID hits keep coming.

Not only does this announcement from the SEC take the possibility of a ‘Bama game off the table, it also takes Missouri off the Cougars’ schedule, leaving BYU with six games total lost from the schedule: Utah, Michigan State, Arizona State, Minnesota, Missouri and Stanford.
