Oklahoma video games versus SEC’s Georgia, Tennessee postponed

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Oklahoma’s regular-season video games in opposition to Southeastern Convention groups should wait till the Sooners are formally a convention member.

The SEC mentioned Wednesday it has instructed Georgia and Tennessee to postpone home-and-home video games scheduled for the subsequent two seasons. The second conferences with each groups had been scheduled for after Oklahoma and Texas depart the Huge 12 Convention and begin taking part in within the SEC in 2025.

Georgia was set to go to Oklahoma in 2023. The Sooners had been scheduled for a sport at Tennessee in 2024.

As a substitute of the Georgia video games, Oklahoma will host SMU on Sept. 9, 2023 and return the favor on Sept. 11, 2027. Oklahoma remains to be making an attempt to interchange the Tennessee slots.

“We acknowledge the unique pleasure in internet hosting Georgia subsequent season and touring to Knoxville in 2024, and the short-term disappointment this information might carry, however the circumstances clearly dictated a change in our schedules,” Oklahoma Vice President and Athletic Director Joe Castiglione mentioned.

“The excellent news is that future SEC schedules will present an affordable rotation whereby Georgia and Tennessee come to Gaylord Household–Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, and we can even play on these nice campuses.”
