NEW SEC OPPONENTS ANNOUNCED FOR REVISED FOOTBALL SCHEDULE
BIRMINGHAM, Alabama (August 7, 2020) – The Southeastern Conference on Friday announced the two additional non-divisional opponents each school will play as part of the SEC’s conference-only football schedule in 2020.
The identification of each school’s two additional non-divisional opponents follows last week’s announcement of a 10-game season beginning September 26. The SEC plans to publicly announce the dates for all games within the next two weeks as it continues to monitor developments around COVID-19.
“We made every effort to create a schedule that is as competitive as possible and builds on the existing eight Conference games that had already been scheduled for 2020,” said SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey. “This schedule is a one-year anomaly that we have developed under unique circumstances presented by the impact of COVID-19.”
Under normal circumstances, SEC schools play the other six teams in their division, two non-divisional opponents and four out-of-conference games each season. In the newly revised schedule for 2020, each school will play four non-divisional opponents in addition to the other six teams in its division.

Re: Ole Miss (Home) and @ Alabama added to 2020 Kentucky football schedule
Well. This is about as opposite ends of the spectrum as we could have got. At Bama is robably the toughest game in the conference (but again no crowds does change things) while I would have bitten a hand off for Ole Miss at home to pad the win total.
