SEC announces league schedule for 2024; Ole Miss set to play Oklahoma and Georgia in the Vaught
OXFORD, Miss. — Welcome to the 2024 Southeastern Conference. With the addition of Texas and Oklahoma, the league schedule has been scrambled like a 3 a.m. egg breakfast at Waffle House.

Home games: State, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Georgia
Road games: LSU, Arkansas, Florida, South Carolina#HottyToddy

For Ole Miss, the Rebels get to see the newcomer Sooners in Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.
That will be interesting after Ole Miss won the College World Series against the Sooners last season. In the only football meeting, the Rebels beat Oklahoma, 27-25, in the 1999 Independence Bowl.
The Rebels also play at Arkansas, LSU, Florida and South Carolina.
At home Ole Miss gets Georgia, Kentucky and the Egg Bowl against Mississippi State.
Shockingly, there will be no Alabama nor will there be Auburn on the schedule. So, no Nick Saban vs. Lane Kiffin and no Huge Freeze against his old team.
In 2024, the SEC will have a different look. But with a 12-team College Football Playoff, it could help the conference. Perhaps in a couple of seasons, the league could have three or four teams in the playoffs.
Stay tuned as we will bring you analysis of the Rebels’ 2024 schedule.
Here’s the list of the complete schedule:
