Mitch Harper talks about the SEC moving to a 9-game conference schedule starting in 2026, which will require teams to play at least one Power 5 non-conference game each year—similar to what the Big 12 already does. He discusses what this could mean for BYU, including the chance to face Missouri in 2035 and whether it could lead to more frequent SEC opponents. Mitch also explains the College Football Playoff Committee’s new focus on Strength of Record (SOR) starting this year, noting BYU’s #7 ranking last season and how this metric could have helped the team.
