A number of big games have been moved due to the adjusted schedule. The Florida-Georgia game, which normally takes place within the seven-day Halloween weekend, will instead be played in the new “Week 7” on November 7th. The game is still scheduled for Jacksonville, Florida. Speaking of the Gators, their annual Tennessee rivalry game has been moved to December 5, marking the first time since 2001 that the game will be played in the last week of the season.
Although the Iron Bowl between Alabama and Auburn will remain on Nov. 28, it will no longer be the last regular season game of the season for either team. The Crimson Tide will travel to Arkansas the following week with the Tigers hosting Texas A&M.
Each SEC team has a built-in holiday week between Week 5 and Week 7, plus a conference-wide open week on December 12 to account for any disruption that may arise. The SEC Championship game, originally scheduled for December 5 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, will be played on December 19 instead.

The league agreed to its changed schedule at the end of July and announced in early August that the team would be entitled to two more games on top of its normal eight-game conference schedule. Understandably, not everyone came out a winner, and reports indicated that a conference call with the coaches was “controversial” about some competitive imbalances, if you will.
Still, football is played – or at least is planned, but it is far from a given in 2020, as the coronavirus pandemic continues to impact the world.
