Questions continue to swirl ahead of the Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma Sooners joining the SEC in 2024. In particular, as the conference switches to a new scheduling model, from its two-division model the SEC’s maintained since 1992 to, well, no one’s quite sure just yet.

Chances are, however, is that the SEC, like other conferences, will go to a permanent rival scheduling format. Likely, too, is the fact that each program will have three permanent rivals.

But who for the Longhorns?

247Sports suspects it’ll be the Texas A&M Aggies, the Arkansas Razorbacks and the Sooners.

From 247Sports: “Remember the Southwest Conference? Get ready for more of that from the SEC when Texas enters. Longhorns fans have been waiting years to play Texas A&M annually and bringing Red River to the SEC will be a ratings boom. Toss in Arkansas and that’s a near guarantee for the Longhorns’ three permanent rivals in the new era. Ironically, Texas will have played Alabama in consecutive years prior to joining the SEC ranks, so the Longhorns will be seasoned against one of the league’s best.”
