As the college football season gets closer, everyone is talking about big changes in the SEC. Oklahoma and Texas are joining from the Big 12, making the conference even stronger with two top teams that will fight for championships and spots in the expanded College Football Playoff.
Big news: Nick Saban retired as Alabama’s head coach last offseason.
Although he’s gone, Kalen DeBoer, who recently led Washington to the CFP National Championship Game, is stepping up to lead Alabama. The expectations are sky-high for him to continue Alabama’s success.
Last year was rare—only the fourth time since 2014 that an SEC team didn’t win the College Football Playoff. But don’t count out Alabama and Georgia; they’ll be strong contenders again. With 12 teams now in the CFP, the SEC has more chances than ever to dominate.
These stories are just a taste of what’s happening in the new-look SEC. Many of these moments will unfold on the SEC Network, which covers all things SEC. With more teams, fans have even more reasons to tune into this ESPN-owned network during the season.
