Moreover, Heupel will be returning to his alma mater, where he was a Heisman Trophy finalist. Brent Venables will be in his third season as Oklahoma's head coach, and the Sooners' fans will be expecting a breakthrough by then similar to what Tennessee accomplished in Heupel's second season. The Vols' trip to Norman has a few different storylines. Tennessee at Oklahoma: In just two years, Josh Heupel has Tennessee's program nationally relevant again. Finally, the Lone Star Showdown is back, and bragging rights won't be decided by arguments about recruiting rankings, brands or revenue or who needs the game the most, but instead by lining up and actually playing football against each other. But that hasn't prevented the non-stop will-they-or-won't-they discussion from popping up every few years, all while fans of the two schools continued to chirp and compare everything between the two programs. Texas at Texas A&M: They've met 118 times, but not since 2011, when Justin Tucker broke the Aggies' hearts with a walk-off field goal to send A&M off to the SEC with a 27-25 loss. Assuming Nick Saban is still around, I don't think any of us would complain about not having to wait until the SEC championship or national championship to watch these two programs get after it. Alabama has been the standard of college football since 2009, with Georgia coming on in the last handful of years as not just a challenger for that throne, but as a successor the last two seasons. Alabama: This will be only the fifth time in the past 20 years that we've seen this game in the regular season, and if we're lucky, we'll see both of these teams still at or near the top of their powers when this game rolls around in 2024. Our writers take you through the biggest questions coming out of the SEC schedule release. So, who are the biggest winners and losers of the schedule release and what games should we be excited for? More importantly, what games are we going to miss as Oklahoma and Texas crash the party? The news now shifts to the gridiron where the conference's biggest matchups are officially set. The conference already made news by sticking with an eight-game schedule when a nine-game slate was on the table earlier this spring. On Wednesday night, the SEC released its schedule for the 2024 season, the first year the Sooners and Longhorns will be playing alongside Alabama, Georgia and the rest of the teams from the most dominant conference in college football. When the Oklahoma Sooners and Texas Longhorns are joining the conference, it's paramount. The SEC releasing its yearly schedule is always big offseason news.
