The 2017 Southeastern Conference schedule was released Tuesday night, giving dates to games that had previously been announced.
2017 will kick off with a bang and the Florida Gators meet the Michigan Wolverines in the Cowboy Classic at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The Gators also draw Texas A&M from the West, joining permanent yearly opponent LSU. This will be the Aggies first trip to Gainesville since 1962.
The Gators’ home schedule, which didn’t have many marquee matchups in 2016 gets a boost in 2017. Florida will welcome Tennessee, Florida State and Texas A&M to The Swamp in Jim McElwain’s third season.
The Gators will leave Gainesville six times (4 away, 2 neutral site games) in 2017. That is the most away games the Gators have had since 1947.
Check out the Gators’ full schedule below.
