When Oklahoma and Texas join the SEC, the conference will stiffen overall, but Tennessee's schedule might ease up.

The SEC is considering expanding its conference schedule to nine games when those Big 12 teams join, but that doesn't spell doom for the Vols.

On this episode, hosts Blake Toppmeyer, John Adams and Adam Sparks debate the impact that an expanded SEC schedule might have on Tennessee.

Annual rivalry games against Georgia and Florida likely would drop off the schedule, reduced to once every two years, while Tennessee could enjoy a cushy draw of Kentucky and Vanderbilt (but also Alabama) as annual rivals. Handed a nine-game SEC slate, the Vols also may opt for an easier non-conference schedule.
