The Southeastern Conference this morning announced its 14-team conference schedule for the 2012 season.

Head-to-head games between SEC teams have been scheduled for every week of the season, beginning Thursday, Aug. 30, when South Carolina visits Vanderbilt. The two newest members, Missouri and Texas A&M, will kick off their conference schedules Sept. 8, when the Tigers host Georgia and the Aggies host Florida.

The 2012 schedule, which contains a team playing the six members within its division, one permanent member from the opposite division and one other member from the opposite division, is not based on any previous or future scheduling formats. SEC athletic directors will convene at the spring meetings to begin formulating scheduling principles for the 2013 season and beyond.

"The SEC transition team and our athletic directors did a great job with significant logistical challenges in a short time frame in developing the 2012 football conference schedule," league commissioner Mike Slive said in a release. "The ability to come together for the conference is what makes the SEC so strong and that was evident yet again in this process."

One talking point sure to emerge involves the schedules of Georgia and South Carolina, which finished first and second in this season's SEC East race. Georgia's random opponent from the West next season is Ole Miss, which went 2-10 this year, while South Carolina's is LSU, which is 13-0 and playing Alabama for the BCS championship.

Georgia played at Ole Miss last season and was scheduled to play at Alabama next year. South Carolina's two West foes next year will be Arkansas and LSU.
