Lead Story: The November 7 Picture Comes Into Focus
The SEC's November 7 schedule got its television treatment Monday, and the day now looks like one of the best of the 2026 season. Missouri's home date with Texas in Columbia is set for an 11:00 a.m. CST kickoff, with the broadcast landing on either ESPN or ABC depending on how this Saturday's results shake out. No. 23 Missouri comes off its bye week, while Texas jumped eight spots to No. 11 in the AP Top 25 after a 34-27 win over Ole Miss.
The night belongs to Georgia and Ole Miss. The Bulldogs' trip to Oxford has been slotted as the 7:30 p.m. ET game on ABC — a matchup that regained considerable luster after a chaotic mid-October stretch that saw most of the top 10 take a loss, including Georgia's home stumble against Auburn. Ole Miss will likely be shorthanded, though: running back Kewan Lacy is expected to miss significant time with a shoulder dislocation.
Sandwiched between them, No. 9 Kentucky — currently leading the SEC — visits No. 16 Tennessee at 6:15 p.m. ET on ESPN. FanDuel opened the Wildcats as 5.5-point underdogs, with Kentucky at +172 on the moneyline, Tennessee at -210, and the total at 49.5. Tennessee is coming off a 27-24 loss at South Carolina, and the Vols are expected to break out their Dark Mode black uniforms at Neyland Stadium. Last year in Lexington, Tennessee rolled Kentucky 56-34 despite losing the possession battle by more than 12 minutes, holding Jason Patterson to 51 rushing yards on 16 carries.
Quick Hits
- Auburn fires its football general manager. Auburn dismissed GM Brian Kloman after alleging he withheld information vital to Mantas Rubstavicius' eligibility case, a source told ESPN.
- Ahmad Hardy is back at practice for Missouri. Per Rock M Nation, the running back has returned to the practice field, though a stated mandate of two weeks of full practice before game action could point to the Texas home game on November 7 as his return date rather than this Saturday at Arkansas.
- Auburn men's golf sits on top at the East Lake Cup. The No. 1 Tigers finished first after stroke play Monday at East Lake Country Club in Atlanta, with sophomore Logan Reilly carding a career-low round to capture a share of the individual title.
- Mizzou volleyball keeps rolling. The Tigers swept their road weekend with wins at South Carolina and Georgia — rallying from a dropped first set in Athens to win three straight — and now sit 13-8 overall (6-3 SEC). Freshman Eva Smith earned SEC Freshman of the Week honors after leading the league with 16 blocks (2.29 per set) and posting career highs of 10 kills and 9 blocks at South Carolina.
- Florida's quarterback question looms over Georgia week. The Gators have not revealed whether Aaron Philo or Trammel Jones will start against Georgia — one beat Ole Miss in the Swamp, the other beat Texas in Austin. Florida may also get wideout Vernon Brown III back; despite missing the last three games, he still leads the team in yards per reception and receiving yards per game.
- Around the league: Mizzou guard Jason Crowe Jr. made the 20-player Bob Cousy Award Watch List per MUTigers.com, one of just three freshmen honored. No. 14 Kentucky women's basketball sold out season tickets for the third straight year. No. 11 Texas women's golf sits fourth after day one of the Nanea Invitational behind Farah O'Keefe's 7-under, where Fernández García-Poggio paced Texas A&M. Ole Miss track & field released its 2027 indoor and outdoor schedules, and Alabama gymnastics will host its Crimson Couture runway event November 20 at Coleman Coliseum.
Portal Watch
No transfer portal activity to report over the last 12 hours. A quiet morning on the movement front across the conference.
Recruiting Buzz
No new commitments came in overnight. With Georgia-Florida week and a loaded November 7 slate ahead, expect official visit traffic to pick up as contenders host marquee games.
Games to Watch
No SEC games are scheduled today, but Saturday's appetizers set the table for the November 7 showdowns: Missouri travels to Arkansas, and Texas hosts Mississippi State in a Saturday night matchup — results that will determine whether Mizzou-Texas lands on ABC or ESPN. Kentucky is on bye, resting up for its trip to Knoxville. And for those doubling up in St. Louis, Mizzou basketball faces SLU the night before the Tigers and Longhorns kick off.
