KNOXVILLE, Tenn — The SEC announced Friday Tennessee will face Auburn and Texas A&M as extra non-divisional opponents during the 2020 college football season.
Tennessee will play on the road at Auburn, and Texas A&M will come to Neyland Stadium.
The conference said last week that due to COVID-19 concerns, each SEC team would only play ten games this season, and they would only play other teams in the conference.
In a regular season, each team plays eight SEC games, six from its division, a traditional rival from the other division, and a rotating opponent.
Tennessee plays all the teams in the SEC East plus Alabama every from the SEC West every year. This year the rotating opponent is Arkansas.
The SEC season will start three weeks late this year, on Sept. 26. On the original schedule, the Vols were set to play Florida in Neyland Stadium. That could change when the SEC releases the revised schedule.
