Games were just released:

2018 Big 12/SEC Challenge - Saturday, January 27th

Baylor at Florida
Tennessee at Iowa State
Texas A&M at Kansas
Georgia at Kansas State
Oklahoma at Alabama
Oklahoma State at Arkansas
TCU at Vanderbilt
Mississippi at Texas
Texas Tech at South Carolina
Kentucky at West Virginia

Not participating in Challenge: Missouri, Auburn, LSU, Mississippi State.

I think the pairings are really good. Since UK/KU couldn't happen because of the Champions Classic, UK getting sent to Morgantown will make for a pretty incredible atmosphere. I would have liked to have seen Florida then play Kansas, but both teams were scheduled a home game, so I understand why they couldn't be paired together. I get why Texas A&M is headed to Kansas since they are the next best SEC team to have a road game. All in all, it looks like these match ups are as competitive as they could possibly be. Oklahoma @ Alabama is a very underrated game. Both of those could be in the top 25 by the time of the game.

Texas Tech won't be an easy one for us. Didn't realize the series is tied at 39-39.

We’re going to lose by about 40 on rocky top. I don’t know what it is but we always suck at these games.

Well hopefully Kentucky can find some defense between now and late January. Otherwise Kansas will probably do us like Duke did. We looked sharp v Monmouth effort wise, something that hadnt been there v other cupcakes. Hoping we build on that.
