Netflix, SEC team up for behind-the-scenes series on 2024 college football season

Netflix and the SEC are coming together next summer with an unfiltered series that offers an inside at the 2024 college football season. Netflix announced the news in a tweet on Wednesday morning.

“A Netflix Sports series following the 2024 SEC college football season is coming Summer 2025,” the tweet read. “Providing unfiltered access to coaches and players in college football’s most dominant conference and giving an exclusive look at key matchups throughout the season.”

Basically, think about a Hard Knocks series, so to speak, but for the conference where “it just means more.” Getting an inside look at the 2024 season should be fascinating, considering the conference had multiple College Football Playoff teams, new coaches, and more.

There’s never a year without drama in that conference. Commissioner Greg Sankey even called out the haters earlier this month.

“People think I’m the puppeteer,” Sankey said on Texas radio, when discussing his argument for more SEC teams in the playofff. “Good, because that means they’re worrying about the wrong things.”

During his interviews, Sankey pointed to strength of schedule as the differentiator in the CFP picture. SEC teams have some of the toughest schedules in the country, and that’s why he thinks the league has earned the bids.

“There has to be recognition. Like I could pull out my email and show you our 16 teams’ strength of schedule. And this is not my rating, this Massey, FPI and Sagarin combined,” Sankey said. “So you combine all of those, 14 of our teams’ strength of schedule is greater than the first of the other Top 25 CFP teams. In other words: 14 of our 16 have stronger schedules than the next CFP team. And then the next two follow and then everybody else in the CFP Top 25 rankings has a lesser schedule than our 16 teams when you use that metric.”
