Yesterday the SEC decided that the 2020 season will consist of ten conference only games. After the ACC announced that they would institute a schedule with ten conference games and one out of conference contest, the SEC’s decision came as a surprise to some. The ACC made the first move. The reason for that move. at least on some level, was to ensure that the SEC would look like they were ducking their in-state ACC rivals if they didn’t follow suit and keep a single conference game on the slate. The issue was that only four SEC teams have in-state rivals in the ACC.
