The SEC has decided to keep eight-game league football schedules through at least the 2015 season.

And through at least that season, the schedule will remain the so-called 6-1-1 format: six games against intra-division opponents, one game against a fixed cross-division opponent and one game against a rotating cross-division opponent.

That means the annual Georgia-Auburn game is safe for the time being.

But during the next year or so, the league will review all scheduling options — including whether to increase to nine league games and whether to drop fixed cross-division opponents — for the 2016 season and beyond.
