SEC directs Georgia, Tennessee to 'postpone' college football series with Sooners given Oklahoma's upcoming conference move

Two high profile non-conference series have been scuttled due to the impending departure of Oklahoma and Texas to the SEC, which is scheduled for 2025.

The SEC announced on Wednesday that it «directed» Georgia and Tennessee to «postpone» scheduled games with Oklahoma because the Sooners are on their way to the SEC.

The SEC's reasoning is that the second game in each series was to «take place after Oklahoma joins the SEC in 2025.» That led the SEC to nix Georgia's game at Oklahoma next season and Oklahoma's game at Tennessee in 2024.

Georgia was scheduled to go to Oklahoma in 2031, and the make-up of the 2020 game with Tennessee that was scheduled for Norman had not yet set a make-up date.
