The other UT-OU game was slated for Knoxville in 2024. That left the return games in each of the series to take place after OU and Texas are scheduled to join the league for the 2025 football season.

Sources: Today's SEC/Oklahoma scheduling announcement does not indicate movement on OU & Texas leaving the Big 12 early. That COULD happen but this is not an indicator. Best guess: SEC close on its future scheduling structure & needs those OU-UGA, OU-Tenn for competitive balance.
