The shift to the nine-game SEC schedule is set to begin in 2026, setting up a historically difficult slate for Will Stein in his first season leading the Kentucky Wildcats.

Elsewhere, it’s varying levels of haymakers to the jaw within the best league in college football, starting with Alabama on Sept. 12.
