Tim Tebow Adds Humor to SEC Schedule Reveal: Tim Tebow injected some humor into the introduction of the Southeastern Conference’s 2024 football season schedules on the SEC Network. Known for his dislike of Georgia, especially as a former Florida Gators quarterback, Tebow subtly threw shade at the Bulldogs during the broadcast.
Pointing out that Georgia had an easier schedule this season but was exposed by Alabama in the SEC championship game, Tebow highlighted the upcoming changes. The SEC is transitioning to a one-division format, removing the Eastern and Western divisions. Georgia, previously accustomed to facing Vanderbilt and South Carolina regularly, will now experience a more competitive schedule.
In 2024, Georgia faces one of the toughest schedules in the SEC, with challenging matchups against Kentucky, Alabama, Auburn, Mississippi State, Texas, Florida, Ole Miss, and Tennessee. Tebow hinted at the difficulty, suggesting Georgia might miss playing easier opponents like Vanderbilt and South Carolina every season.
Despite the tough path, Tebow playfully noted that Georgia gets a break in Week 14, Rivalry Week, with a matchup against Georgia Tech. While other teams face intense rivals, Tebow suggested it might not be the toughest way for Georgia to end the season.
Analyzing the new schedules, Tebow acknowledged the overall appeal for fans, especially with the addition of Texas and Oklahoma to the SEC. He also highlighted significant matchups, such as Alabama playing at Oklahoma before the Iron Bowl and Auburn hosting Texas A&M.
